[web2py] Re: Field vs id

[JF]

It is not exactly identical, but changing the following line in my 
controller "item.py", function "edit":
 
    thispage = db.table[request.args(0)]
with:
 
    thispage = db(db.table.fieldname==request.args(0)).select().first()
provides me with the result I was waiting for for a URL like:
 
http://127.0.0.1:8000/partcreation/item/edit/2122-123456789-00
 
Thank you very much!
