This question might be slightly off topic. But anywhere here it is:

I have two tables in my MS Access database: 1. Containg a record for each employee

2. DVD database containing a record for each DVD

What I would like to do with Zope, is to somehow link these two together, so that I can write on my intranet that Mr. X has DVD this and that.

My problem is that I can offcause make a field in the first table (employee table), where I list the IDnumbers of the DVDs (seperated by commas), which the employee owns, but then a query returns these id's comma seperated and I don't how to handle this (in a <dtml-in> -loop).

You should do this in the query to the database, not in Zope. You should make a third table that relates employees to dvds. Then, using SQL, you would use a query something like this: select employee_name, dvd_name from employee_dvd, employee.dvd where employee.employee_id=employee_dvd.employee_id and dvd.dvd_id=employee_dvd.dvd_id order by employee_name If the database supports joins you can use joins in the from statement and omit the where statement. Then you would use Zope to display the results. Tom Passin
