skholov - Thanks, but you misunderstand my question. Again, I know that forms don't have access to request, and again, I've got it working already (though with a different approach - see my OP). My question was an attempt to understand the plumbing or the python better. To reiterate, I'd like to know WHY request isn't automatically available from forms, as it is from views. To put the question another way, when we define a view function, we do something like: def edit(request,story_id): ... But when we create a form, we can't just do: class StoryForm(ModelForm, request): ... It seems like this is the kind of thing Django could take care of for us - we shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get at request - but there's probably a good reason why it works this way. Does my question make more sense now? Thanks, Scot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
