Well, there's a register_onaccept example in the book that gets the new user id from form.vars.id: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/9#Authorization-and-CRUD. But I agree that usage of the Auth callbacks could be better documented. We're waiting for Massimo to make the online book editable so a few of us can go in and make corrections and additions like this. Hopefully that will happen soon. In the meantime, it's often helpful to look directly at the code. For example, in the Auth register() function, here is where you can see the id can be found in form.vars.id: http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/browse/gluon/tools.py#2022. And here is where you can see that the user record is stored in session.auth: http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/browse/gluon/tools.py#2051. Once you start to get to know the code, it's usually fairly quick and easy to figure out these kinds of things. Anthony
