I've tried just doing that but I get the error: Undefined property:
LessonsController::$User
I expected that to result in an error because I'm writing this code in
the lessons_controller not the users_controller.

Here's the complete function that I'm trying to add to the
controller...

function add() {

        $this->set('authorArray', $this->User->generateList(null, null, null,
'{n}.User.user_id', '{n}.User.username'));

        if (!empty($this->data)) {

                if ($this->Lesson->save($this->data)) {
                        $this->flash('Your post has been 
saved.','/lessons/titlebrowse');
                }
        }
}


I don't understand what you meant by adding "$users = array('Lessons',
'Users');" and no... I don't have that in my controller anywhere.

?
