Hi;
I'm tweaking *Build a Searchable Job Board*.
http://www.zope.org/Members/mukhsein/job_board_howto
I need to create a pull-down list for those who want to enter data and 
those who want to select among entries. I want this pull-down list to 
obtain its elements from a foreign source (within Zope). Here are the 
particulars:
Off the doc root (in Zope) there is a folder, let's call it *MyFirstFolder*.
Within *MyFirstFolder is *Catalog*.
Within *Catalog* is *entries*.
Within *entries* is *entry_addForm*.
In *entry_addForm* is the ZTML to be displayed, including where I would 
like to put my loop sequence to create a selection of options, pulling data 
from another file. This other file will be closer to the doc root, so 
acquisition *should* work, however...
Within *Products* is *Classifieds*.
Within *Classifieds* is *classifieds_entry*, which has a property sheet 
which has a method called
*content_html*
that references the variable referenced in *entry_addForm* that I need to 
turn into the aforementioned pull-down list obtained from the foreign source.

Boy, I hope I've made that clear. Can you help?

TIA,
BenO
