Thanks John,

Hmm, that's a bit of a problem, particularly when you have just finished
designing a form class that takes parameters !

There are other problems too : if you do not want the form to
even initialize depending on the value of some of the parameters,
am I right in saying that the only way to do it inside a formset
is to have the form initialize as HIDDEN and then either un-hide it
or release it depending on what the parameters are ?
