There is a countries table in the database included with CodeCharge Studio
(Internet_PostgreSQL.sql). The countries table definition begins at line 119
and the data at line 437.
Use this table to populate the combobox.
Regards,
Sixto

The InternetDB that comes with Codecharge Studio comes with a table called "Countries". Just copy it to your own database, and you
re good to go.

I don't know what the "countries" table in css looks like. I suggest that you use the list specified by ISO 3166-1. The ISO (International Standards Organziation) develops agreed on standards that apply worldwide. For something like Country and Currency codes, ISO lists are the way to go.
Every country in the world has a short name, a long name (optional), a 3 character string code that uses numeral characters only, a three character alpha code, and a two character alpha code.
Here's an example for Argentina:
Short Name: Argentina
Long Name: Argentine Republic
Numeric Code: 032 (note the leading zero)
Three character alpha: ARG
Two character alpha: AR
The ISO will sell you this list from their website, but I am sure it is reproduced on other sites for free. Here is a site that has the list as of 1999:
http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso3166/iso3166-1-en.html
Find a website, grab the data and throw it into a table.
Thanks,
Bill
