I've looked through my code and made sure that I'm not setting the radio
list's value anywhere, and I'm still getting that error. In fact after
cleaning up one section of code to be more Pythonic, I'm getting the error
two or three times before the app fully initializes:
Dabo Error Log: Thu Aug 21 15:16:21 2008: No radio button matching '1' was
found.
Dabo Error Log: Thu Aug 21 15:16:30 2008: No radio button matching '0' was
found.
If it would help for me to post my .cdxml file and my *-code.py file, I
will.
Are you following my example or your example here? It matters because I

Here's the section of code for the radio list straight from the cdxml file:
<dRadioList code-ID="dRadioList-dPanel" sizerInfo="{'HAlign': 'Center'}"
Orientation="Horizontal" Caption="Level" Value="1" Choices="['1',
'2', '3', '4']" Width="125"
designerClass="controlMix" DataField="level" RegID="LevelField" Height="35"
DataSource="categories"></dRadioList>
This is the code as generated by the ClassDesigner. I've tried changing
' to ' a few times with no change in behavior.

Okay, so this was one thing I didn't know before. I had just assumed that I
could leave all the controls empty and they would be ready to accept values
for a new record, since the app is strictly for adding new entries and not
editing or viewing, so the form never does a requery(). So I added
self.new() to the form's afterInitAll() method, and the new record now shows
up in the database after a save() in the app.
So at this point I've made good progress, and I've been able to get rid of
all errors except for the one listed above.
Thanks for your help,
Mike M.
