Your original code simply set the "name" attribute of the HTML <form> element (i.e., SQLFORM(..., _name=...)). However, that doesn't affect the _formname hidden element. To set that, you have to set the "formname" argument to the accepts() method (or process() or validate()). Anyway, I'm not sure you need to set your own formname -- web2py will automatically generate a formname based on the db table name and type of form, so two forms on the same page based on different tables will have different names anyway.
