Guilherme,

  Now that I know Field.choices exists it will certainly do the job.

  I read the example as translating a quoted string in two steps to a
two-character, uppercase abbreviation. Would the following one-step list of
choices be correct?

    industry_choices (
        ('Agriculture'),
        ('Business, other'),
        ('Chemicals'),
        ('Energy'),
        ('Law'),
        ('Manufacturing'),
        ('Mining'),
        ('Municipalities'),
        ('Ports/Marine Services'),
        ('Transportation'),
        )
    industry=models.CharField(max_length=24, choices=industry_choices, 
default='Agriculture')

Thanks,

Rich
