Hi, thanks for the reply!
I changed it to what you suggested but it's mad about something else,
now:
TemplateSyntaxError
Caught an exception while rendering: 'ModelChoiceField' object has no
attribute 'all'
It's mad about how render it:
<td>{{ form.state }}</td>
I didn't read here (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/
fields/#modelchoicefield) that I need to do anything wacky but I guess
my model has to override or define an "all" method?
Thanks in advance!
