hello one and all,

this has probably been asked, and i sifted through the search, but didn't 
really find it.  i am trying to replicate the "Database Administrator" side 
of web2py when it references another record by id in another table.  so my 
model is like

Field('user_id', db.auth_user, requires=IS_IN_DB(db, db.auth_user.id, 
'%(last_name)s, %(first_name)s (%(id)s)')),

and when the form shows up it display the last and first name correct along 
with the id in parathesis.  however, if i choose a user from the list it 
gives the error: "value not in database".  i believe it is not referencing 
the id from the pull-down list properly, or so.

please suggest.  thank you in advance.  lucas
