[Zope] Solved: Trouble with multiple selection property from SQL method

[Michiel Toneman]

Never mind, I'm a user=id10t (and also newbie)

I started browsing the postings on the list and 
found:

http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2000-February/017895.html

This gave me a hint in the right direction. Now my
user_list_meth reads:

user_list_meth-----------------
-------------------------------

<dtml-let list="[]">
<dtml-in user_list_sql>
    <dtml-call "list.append(name)">
</dtml-in>
<dtml-return list>
</dtml-let>

-------------------------------

I'm so happy ;-)

Sorry to bother you!

Still struggling with the concepts (and a lack of complete 
documentation). 

Greetings,

Michiel Toneman
