Actually, I have noticed on closer inspection that the dropdown field are indeed saving to the database, however the managers name is not displaying in the HasManyComplexTableField,

<?php
/**
 * Defines the ProjectHolder page type
 */
class ProjectHolder extends Page {
   static $db = array(
   );
   static $has_one = array(
      
   );
    static $has_many = array(
      'Projects' => 'Project',
	'Managers' => 'Manager'
   );

   function getCMSFields() {
      $fields = parent::getCMSFields();

	$tablefield = new HasManyComplexTableField(
         $this,
         'Projects',
         'Project',
         array(
	    'title' => 'Title',
	    'Manager' => 'Manager'
         ),
         'getCMSFields_forPopup'
      );
      $tablefield->setAddTitle( 'A Project' );

	$managertablefield = new HasManyComplexTableField(
         $this,
         'Managers',
         'Manager',
         array(
	    'name' => 'Name',
	   
         ),
         'getCMSFields_forPopup'
      );
      $managertablefield->setAddTitle( 'A Manager' );

	$fields->addFieldToTab( 'Root.Content.Projects', $tablefield );
	$fields->addFieldToTab( 'Root.Content.Managers', $managertablefield );
      return $fields;
   }
}

class ProjectHolder_Controller extends Page_Controller {
}
?>

I notice that having

$tablefield = new HasManyComplexTableField(
         $this,
         'Projects',
         'Project',
         array(
	    'title' => 'Title',
	    'ManagerID' => 'Manager'
         ),

displays the Id no in the table, but is there a way to get it to display the saved manager's name?
