thanks ryan. On the same note I have another question how do i insert cities within a zone, I think right now it is a text box, I would like to make it a drop down with my allowed list of cities. I am not an expert with mysql so could you give me a few commands that I can type to make this happen. I saw your discussion on this at http://www.ubercart.org/forum/internationalization/2319/cif_files but the actual how to was not there and I was lost with the hook_alter_form() stuff.

thank you.
