lyn2py : Thanks. Your suggestion worked (you correctly understood the requirement)
This thread elsewhere also suggested (indirectly) using the sessions. ( https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/web2py/sqlform$20with$20args/web2py/GC0EKaQ8Jjo/_tqgCZbctXkJ ) I was thinking in the direction of "store the vars in some sort of globally accessibly place" - But wasn't sure how. Storing in the session seems right way to do it. When/where should I "clean" these variables from session ? In case user directly accesses second URL (without going thru first URL to select the search criteria) they might see incorrect results - since controller function will use "old" values - Mandar On Tue, Oct 23, 2012 at 5:32 PM, lyn2py <[email protected]> wrote: > I ran into a similar requirement recently.
