Thanks Anthony,
I want to explicitly link the tables as you described above. Do I put
this code in in the DB_WIZARD.PY file?
If so how would I modify it. Everything I try produces an error on
save. Here are the two tables in question.
db.define_table('t_ab_distribution',
Field('f_distributionname', type='string', unique=True,
label=T('Distributionname')),
Field('f_location1', type='string',
label=T('Location1')),
Field('f_location2', type='string',
label=T('Location2')),
Field('f_location3', type='string',
label=T('Location3')),
Field('f_location4', type='string',
label=T('Location4')),
Field('f_distributiondate', type='date',
label=T('Distributiondate')),
Field('f_contact1', type='string',
label=T('Contact1')),
Field('f_phone1', type='string',
label=T('Phone1')),
Field('f_contact2', type='string',
label=T('Contact2')),
Field('f_phone2', type='string',
label=T('Phone2')),
Field('f_contact3', type='string',
label=T('Contact3')),
Field('f_phone3', type='string',
label=T('Phone3')),
Field('f_contact4', type='string',
label=T('Contact4')),
Field('f_phone4', type='string',
label=T('Phone4')),
auth.signature,
format='%(f_distributionname)s',
migrate=settings.migrate)
db.define_table('t_ab_distribution_archive',db.t_ab_distribution,Field('current_record','reference
t_ab_distribution',readable=False,writable=False))

db.define_table('t_ab_recipient',
Field('f_recipient_name', type='string',
label=T('Recipient Name')),
Field('f_recipient_phone', type='string',

Field('f_recipient_number', type='string',

Field('f_team_num', type='string',
