OK.  I changed:

(1)

def index():
    try:
      form=t2.update(db.student,db.student.student_id==t2.person_id)
    except:
      form=t2.create(db.student)
    return dict(form=form)

to this

(2)

def index():
    form=t2.update(db.student,db.student.student_id==t2.person_id)
    return dict(form=form)

and it works after i have created a record.  Why is the try: except
not working in (1) above?

If i use 1 above i can start a new form and submit it.  But then if i
enter some more data, it says the unique items already exist.  If I
use 2 then I can update data but new create a new record.  This is
based on having a login requirement for the form.

thx,
