Massimo code should have been : db.reservations.PersonName.default = session.PersonName
And you must use it, because the way you made it works will prevent your user to change their name, let say for instance that 2 differents persons order with the same form, the second person (if it has input his name) will be override by the content of session.PersonName, that still content the name of the person one since you pass it to form.vars.PersonName directly...
