Hi Thanks for the reply, I have got query 2 working with the following:-
qry = request.vars.upn_no q = (db.pupils.upn_no == qry) s = db(q) row = s.select(db.pupils.upn_no,db.pupils.surname) which gives me the following. pupils.upn_no pupils.surname 5555 Dalglish Once in the view is their a way off changing column headings and just showing what you want from the db.
