You are right, I made a mistake there. I typed it off of the top of my head, instead of copying and pasting from working code. All you have to do is what I did above in the create -- have an if statement. If the partner already exists, you have to get that object (using the Partner.objects.get(your_criteria_here) and pass it using the 'instance' keyword. Something like: #if it's an existing partner: partner_form = PartnerForm(instance = partner_instance) #else: partner_form = PartnerForm(request.POST) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
