To access the form values, use:
if form.process().accepted:
value = form.vars.some_field
If you will be changing the values inserted, use:
if form.process(dbio=false).accepted:
form.vars.some_field = modify(form.vars.some_field)
#but you will need to insert data into the db yourself
Happy New Year! :)
