I want to populate a picklist on the contact edit page with a picklist value from the account.

Example:

* I have an account picklist "Account Class" with values A,B,C and I have a contact picklist also called "Account Class" which also has the values A,B,C.
* Now, when creating a new contact, I want the picklist on the contact edit page to be populated with the value of the picklist of the associated account.

I am able to do this for text fields following the instructions I found in the Salesforce_platform_cookbook.pdf (page 124). However I don't no how to do it for picklist fields.

Can somebody help? Your help would be apreciated.

I have created some pages to collect information from clents into a custom object. The form works great when I preview the form and submit, but when I visit the page as an outsider, all looks good, but submit returns me to a template " .../sitename/page" (missing page id) and no data is received. I've followed the installation instructions to the T, and I can't get any data... Help Please...
