Models and relationships

Hi ,I am fairly new to Django and am struggling with models hope someone can sort me out. 


Models:
class Organization(models.Model): #customer or vendor person or company orgid = models.AutoField(db_column='OrgID', primary_key=True) is_company = models.NullBooleanField(db_column='IsCompany', default =True) organizationname = models.CharField(db_column='OrgName', max_length=75,blank=True, null=True) main_phone = models.CharField(db_column='MainPhone',max_length=20, blank=True, null=True) ...
...
  class Location(models.Model): locationid = models.AutoField(db_column='LocationID', primary_key=True) orgid = models.ForeignKey(Organization, db_column='OrgID') locationname = models.CharField(db_column='LocationName', max_length=75, null=True) address1 = models.CharField(db_column='Address1', max_length=200, blank=True, null=True) ...
...

class Contact(models.Model): contactid = models.AutoField(db_column='ContactID', primary_key=True) locationid = models.ForeignKey(Location, db_column='LocationID') firstname = models.CharField(db_column='FirstName', max_length=50,blank=True, null=True) lastname = models.CharField(db_column='LastName', max_length=50,blank=True, null=True) ...
...

my problem is with reverse lookups (i think it is called) the docs say that i can access entries through blog.entry,(by lowercaseing the class)
it appears to me that i have the same setup with contact and location but i am getting errors ??


what I am trying to do is access a contacts address and organization at both the views level and the templates.(I would like to create a
list of contacts, their company and their address ordered by contact name)

if someone would point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
