Hello all, First let me start by saying I've finally cleared time to play with zope. Its coming along nicely but I've hit a snag. The following snippet in a form: <TR><TD ALIGN="RIGHT">Staff</TD><TD><SELECT NAME="bugs_tbl.staff"> <!--#in qryListStaff --> <OPTION VALUE="<!--#var user_id-->"><!--#var user_name--> <!--#/in--> </SELECT></TD></TR> using MySQL produces the following HTML: <TR><TD ALIGN="RIGHT">Staff</TD><TD><SELECT NAME="bugs_tbl.staff"> <OPTION VALUE="2L">Alan Johnston <OPTION VALUE="1L">Tom Jenkins </SELECT></TD></TR> Now unfortunately I believe the L is causing the insert to fail with an invalid integer. I specified user_id as integer unsigned zerofill auto_increment. Does anyone know why the 'L' is being return?
