Brian, have a look at:

Cool! Let's implememt your models first:
#----------------------------------------------------
class MyBaseModel(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField( max_length=100,
verbose_name='first')
class Meta:
abstract = True
class myModel1(MyBaseModel):
class Meta(MyBaseModel.Meta):
db_table = 'table1'
class myModel2(MyBaseModel):
class Meta(MyBaseModel.Meta):
db_table = 'table2'
Now let's tackle your forms.
> class abstractForm( ModelForm ):
> class Meta:
> model= myModel
>
> class myForm(abstractForm):
> class Meta(myForm.Meta):
> model.table_name = 'test_model'
please review:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/forms/modelforms/#modelform
I believe you're trying to avoid duplicate code (DRY==good!) but
I think you'll be better served writing simpler form code.
#----------------------------------------------------
class Form1(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = MyModel1
class Form2(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = MyModel2
Hope that helps!
