hi Fran,

Have looked at {{=form.custom.begin}} and it looks just the ticket. It
enables me to have one User table (which I've modified in db.py with
additional fields) and then have two views: one for each type of user.

I've one last sticking point...

Now I'm no longer using {{=form}} I don't get the Password2 field
added for free nor its data validation (that password == password2).

And the thought occurs that if I wanted to have recaptcha I'd run into
similar issues.

Do you know if/how I can add password2 handling into my custom form
view? (and recaptcha if I wanted that too?)

Many thanks for your time

Carl
