Hi Tim:

So, which is your idea, should we go for a DB table (even with the translation problem) or should we go for the array?

For example is Northern Ireland a country or is it just part of the UK, or even is it part of Ireland? The answer very much depends on who you ask, and this holds true for lots of countries.

Well... personally I'm one of those feeling emotional for this issue, and would be happy to find my country into the list I sent few days ago, but it is not there (yet...).

BUT, almost 99,99% of software around us have the "country" field. When you buy anything, register in almost any website or even open a gmail account, you are required a country field. So, I think the "official" list can be very simple, is the one of the UN members.

Also, everyone is able to add or delete entries into their own installation, so webERP is not forcing to a "offcial table". I will for sure add some entries to the official table Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin
