Hank - Here's the answer you are looking for:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/fields/#modelchoicefield Here's an example: stuff = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Series.objects.values('whatever'), empty_label=" ") Spend some serious time learning modelforms. Most of the time, they are the right answer. Modelforms are different than regular forms... so you do have to populate the choices differently. The key with Django is to understand when you need a modelform, and when you need a regular form. modelform - Django builds forms from models. form - You design what you want, but have to do a lot more work to populate the form with data. There you go.
