I seem to be in a loop (me, not the computer) getting autocomplete to do 
what I want which is totally basic. I have reduced this to a test case and 
could use a push in the right direction. (Consider this one of my 20 
variations.)
What I want is for the reference lookup to use nombre (not the ID field) in 
autocomplete. 

Thanks.

MODEL
db.define_table('stuff',
                Field('nombre', 'string', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY())
                )

db.define_table('reel',
                Field('whatever', 'string', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
                Field('sid', 'reference stuff')
                )

CONTROLLER
def stuff():
    grid  = SQLFORM.grid(db.stuff, user_signature=False)
    return locals()

def reel():
    grid = SQLFORM.grid(db.reel, user_signature=False)
    db.reel.sid.widget = SQLFORM.widgets.autocomplete(
      request, db.reel.sid, id_field=db.stuff.nombre)
    return locals()
