if you have two forms in one page, web2py needs to be able to discriminate which one is being submitted. It does that by using a input type=hidden name=formname.
But the forms below have the same name. I don't think I understand completely.

If these are derived by SQLFORM from different tables, then web2py gives them different names automatically; otherwise you need to explicitly give them different form names. Here is an example: def two_forms(): form1 = FORM(INPUT(_name='name', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()), INPUT(_type='submit')) form2 = FORM(INPUT(_name='name', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()), INPUT(_type='submit')) if form1.process(formname='form_one').accepted: response.flash = 'form one accepted' if form2.process(formname='form_two').accepted: response.flash = 'form two accepted' return dict(form1=form1, form2=form2) Does it matter at all that both of the forms have the same NAME attribute? I would have thought that to be poor HTML practice. Thanks, Toby --
