Hi
your spanish is better than my english

Donīt worry i understand english from 40 years ago,
but i donīt write very good.

This is the problem.

Iīm doing a web e-commerce.
I have the client at the browser, and he has to do the
new client.

Name ....  julio
direc....  Gaona 3456 - 
city ................  (hear the problem)

He has to select from a list 

Buenos Aires 
Capital
New York

I donīt want he see the numbers off the city that are
at the server (mysql - table)

At mysql-table i have a number like the key

0001BuenosAires  ( a number and the first six
elements)
                  and the last six elements for
security)

When i take the listbox at the browser i donīt like to
see the numbers off the key. He only see the names.

When he take one at the browser, like Buenos Aires, y
see that at the text in the browser, but i have to put
the number at the table off the client.

I do that with clipper at dos without problem.

Canīt i have an array bidimensional (name and number)
and see only the name at the listbox in the browse.

Sorry by the lata (charla muy larga)
contestame en ingles o en espaņol, si es espaņol mejor
para que tu pratiques.

Muchas gracias por tu tiempo

Saludos
Julio Oliveira - Buenos Aires - Argentina.
