You didn't specify a form method, so I think it defaults to GET, which
means the values will end up in request.get_vars. If you fail to explicitly
specify the "request_vars" argument of SQLFORM.process(), it will
automatically use request.post_vars, but not request.get_vars. So, you
should either do a POST form, via:
<form action="#" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
or pass in the GET variables explicitly:
if form.process(request_vars=request.get_vars, session=None, formname=
'new_order').accepted:
Since you are using the form to add new records, I assume you really want
the former (i.e., do a POST instead of a GET).
