Daniel Guerrier	Monday 19 September 2005 11:48:51 am I have a content class with a attribute of type selection. I can see the value of the selected using attribute view gui. What I need to do is to get the actual value that was selected in order to compare the value in a forloop. How do I get the actual value from a selection datatype? An even better question would be, where can I look to find out the answer to this question for any datatype? Thanks, Danny
