hey again Lynda, you'll have to excuse me, i'm a bit slow today due to a heavy long weekend.
you don't need to define your own generateMenuList function as one has already been provided for you : http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/models [search the page for generateList] http://api.cakephp.org/class_model.html#e8844b859626edc554946480046e395f It is a function provided to you by the lovely developers at cake as a method of your model (and all models). It is ok for you to not include an id and name field in your table, just look at the instructions in the chapter and API which describe how to get around this. you should be able to replace your line : $this->set('Menu', $this->Setting->generateMenuList()); with $this->set('Menu', $this->Setting->generateList(null,null, null, "Setting.setting","Setting.value")); Have a read of the manual and the API and see how you go.
