For any other DB, it will likely fail. I would suggest changing your gender field to an ENUM and putting it in the fb_enumFields array in your data object. If you want to keep it as a tinyint, then I would suggest doing this in your preGenerateForm (make sure the column name and such are correct before using ;-). $this->preDefElements['Gender'] = array(HTML_QuickForm::createElement('radio', 'gender', null, 'Male', 'male'), HTML_QuickForm::createElement('radio', 'gender', null, 'Female', 'female')); Because of the radio button changes I made, you can now give FB an array of elements in preDefElements. Try this and see what you think. -- DB_DataObject_FormBuilder - The database at your fingertips http://pear.php.net/package/DB_DataObject_FormBuilder paperCrane --Justin Patrin--
