OK, thanks. I was on the verge of rolling my own solution anyway. Form models won't work for me; although the ID I want to pass is a primary key to a table, I need to rummage around in the database and track down several bits and pieces; there's not a simple correspondence to one particular model in this case, sadly. At least I don't think so; I may give it another look.
