Hi Massimo, Thank you for the suggestions. I have implemented both, but neither helps with the original problem of having components with multiple buttons work with ajax=True. My new controller generates several forms each with just one button and with distinct formnames. It has an if form.accepts clause for each form to do the required action, and then returns all the forms to the view to be properly formatted. It seems a bit clumsy, but also seems to be working. Thanks again, G
