Also.. To add to my other post below..I was reading on the SQLFORM.factory and it seems like that may be a viable options as well for what I am trying to do. Here is the section I am referring to:
*"SQLFORM.factory* *There are cases when you want to generate forms as if you had a database table but you do not want the database table. You simply want to take advantage of the SQLFORM capability to generate a nice looking CSS-friendly form and perhaps perform file upload and renaming.* *This can be done via a form_factory. Here is an example where you generate the form, perform validation, upload a file and store everything in the session :"* If a user is logged in and it stores in the session, is that the same thing as it saving it to an associated record in the database table?
