Thanks, Michael! I think I've figured it out somewhat. The answer I was looking for was vars. Being able to reference vars in different controllers is very powerful. By referencing the var I can select the record from the table I was referencing and render it in the view. A simple concept for most I would imagine, but I learn something new everyday with web2py. Thanks again!!
