I am trying that but I can't get any values. I have the following in
the form (The select lists the locations ('depot') as it should do)

<h2>Login</h2>
<?php
echo $session->flash('auth');
echo $this->Form->create('User', array('url' => array('controller' =>
'users', 'action' =>'login')));
echo $this->Form->input('User.username');
echo $this->Form->input('User.password');
echo $form->input('depot', array('options' =>
array($depotlist),'selected' => $this->data['User']['depot'],'label'
=> 'Depot'));

I have the following in the user_controller.php

function login()
{

$data_array = $this->Depot->find('all',array('fields' =>
array('Depot.id', 'Depot.name'))); //For all of the records in the
table
$data_combine = Set::combine($data_array,
'{n}.Depot.id','{n}.Depot.name');
$this->set('depotlist',$data_combine);
if ($this->Auth->user())
{
print_r($this->data['User']['depot']);
$this->Session->write('depot', $this->data['User']
['depot']); // this is the 'real write' that doesn't work
// $this->Session->write('depottest', 'testdepot'); // this
write is for test only & works
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());

}

}

I assume, because the test write does work, that $this->data is never
populated
