Thanks so much Anthony, it works great!

Is this valuable enough for me to post to Slices? (I would also display the 
tables so that students can recreate the whole process).

def search_shared_services():
         is_owner = (lambda row: row.created_by == auth.user_id) if auth.user 
else False 
         grid = SQLFORM.smartgrid(db.SharedService, linked_tables=[
'SharedServicePartnerIntersection'], maxtextlength={
'SharedServicePartnerIntersection.sharedServiceID':140,  
'SharedService.shortSharedServiceTitle':140,
'SharedService.shortSharedServiceDescription':140}, editable=is_owner,deletable
=is_owner, user_signature=True) 
         return dict(grid=grid)


Thanks,

Alex
