Thanks Yarko, > Hope this makes some sense now: At least that some darkness about what is happening in the background was cleared up - but I still do not understand enough to solve my problem.

I did and there I read: if form is accepted (and all validators pass) form.vars contains the accepted vars, otherwise form.errors contains the errors. in case of errors the form is modified to present the errors to the user. So I tried to use the form.vars after the form was accepted. I get no error code (ticket) now but my code is ignored: if form.accepts(request.vars, session): if form.vars.begindatum > form.vars.einddatum: message = T("end date before start date") form.errors == True else: form.vars.id = db.navrae.insert(**dict(form.vars)) response.flash = 'form accepted' I suspect I must not set form.errors as it is done by the background process. I want these tests done when the validators come into play and I cannot see how that is done from what I understand of your explanation.
