Thanks - your reply helped me see how it works. I did not realize that web2py just puts the name of *only* the selected radio button in request.vars. I had been looking for all 3 of my radio buttons, assuming there would be a checked=true attribute on one of them. But instead, just the presence of the radio button name in request.vars after form validation means that is the one that was selected. It seems that the virtual table is mostly for internal use in web2py except its schema might be useful for looping through the list of controls.
