Give the following table:

db.define_table('brix_test',
    Field('id', 'id', readable=False),
    Field('site', 'reference site',
          requires=IS_IN_DB(self.db, 'site',
                            '%(siteNumber)s - %(name)s',
                            zero='..')),
    Field('mixer_tech', 'reference mixerTech',
          requires=IS_IN_DB(self.db, 'mixerTech', '%(name)s', zero='..')),
    Field('sampled', 'datetime', requires=IS_DATE('%m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p')),
    Field('sample_id', length=20, requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
    Field('source', length=50, requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
    Field('water_weight', 'integer', requires=IS_INT_IN_RANGE(100, 300)))


I want to create an onvalidation function to be run when saving from by 
SQLFORM.grid that will ensure that the 'source' field is unique within each 
site.  

Ex:

A record for Site 1 can have a sample_id of 'Tank 1'
A record for Site 2 can have a sample_id of 'Tank 1'

But you cannot have more than 1 record for Site 1 where sample_id is 'Tank 
1'

My problem is that I can't get my 'id' field to be recognized in my 
onvalidation function:

def validate_brix_test(form):
    brix_test_id = form.vars.id
    site_id = form.vars.site
    mixer_tech_id = form.vars.mixer_tech
    sample_id = form.vars.sample_id


    site = db.site(site_id)


    #  mixer tech must belong to the site specified
    mt = db.mixerTech(mixer_tech_id)
    if not mt:
        form.errors.mixer_tech = 'Mixer Tech was not found'
    else:
        if mt.siteId != site_id:
            form.errors.mixer_tech = 'Mixer Tech does not belong to %s.' % 
site.name


    #  sample id must be unique within the site
    if brix_test_id and brix_test_id > 0:
        sample_id_count = db((db.brix_test.id != brix_test_id) &
                             (db.brix_test.sample_id == sample_id) &
                             (db.brix_test.site == site_id)).count()
    else:
        sample_id_count = db((db.brix_test.sample_id == sample_id) &
                             (db.brix_test.site == site_id)).count()


    if sample_id_count > 0:
        form.errors.sample_id = 'This sample ID has already been used at 
%s.' % site.name


    return

The problem is that form.vars.id is always None regardless of whether or 
not I have db.brix_test.id.readable = db.brix_test.id.writable = True or 
False

Any idea how I can get the ID of the record in the form into the 
onvalidation function?
