>_format is an attribute of the db.person table object. However, db.person(id) is a Row object (representing a single record from the db.person table) -- it does not have a _format attribute. Perhaps you are looking for something like this: db.dog.owner_id.represent = lambda id, row: db.person._format % db.person(id ) Anthony
