Hi Andrew, the first argument of IS_IN_DB is really a set, passing db just uses the whole database, so you can:
mixers=db(db.t_equipment.f_type=="mixer") ...requires=IS_IN_DB(mixers, ...) This is mentioned in http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/07#Database-Validators although not explicitly (see the second sample code under IS_NOT_IN_DB). Denes.
