Hi Mario, I have similar situations in my application and I guess there is no automatic way to do it.
So what I do is get the data wth all fields and loop through them and create another array with value = id and shown sring firstname + family name. If there is a more elegant solution I don't know it. Anja -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: cake-php@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von mario Gesendet: Sonntag, 26.

I can't just have the firstname in my combobox because there is a high possibility that there would be duplicates for firstnames. It would be better if firstname and lastname would be displayed in my view's combobox and still would match to a corresponding salesperson.id. Is there a way to do this?
