Hi David Try these two...
1. In your table defs for project and proposer, make sure you add format='%(yourfieldname)s', So that Web2py knows what to show instead of 'id'. 2. You can use .represent in your model or controller. db.visit.proposer_id.represent = ..... See the book <http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer?search=.represent#format--Record-representation> .
