actually an invoice. This has session variables and pulled database variables

hey lads, need some serious help from you. Lets say i've got 2 databases:
orders and order_samples. User is logged in. He wants to put an order. Fills up
the form and press submit. My intentions are to create two records at the same
time but in a bit more complex way:

I have page on my family's web site that has an option for downloading a .csv

seems like a long way around to me.  There could be ...

query results to a file, I would do this:
<cffile action = "write" output = "">

I'm stuck. Below you see the content of my table 'hersteller'. As you see the
names 'Bertschi' and 'Flückiger Hemmi' appear more than one time.
In the end I would like to create a pull-down (in html) which sould look like:
<option value="157,164">Bertschi</option>

There is a form which accepts user data. There is a textarea included in the
form. The problem is when i display that information in a html form it doesnot

Firstname
Middlename
LastName
