cck_taxonomy?

robertDouglass gave some insight to the differences here: http://drupal.org/node/145604

"Since the content_taxonomy field is tied to a taxonomy vocabulary, the field is shown twice. Is this intentional?"

There's a setting in content_taxonomy when you create the type to say whether it's -
- Save as tag
- Save in cck table
- Both

Is the "Both" behaviour where you are experiencing this?

See http://drupal.org/node/169447 for some explanation.

Hope that helps.

I'm wondering if the question about the field being shown twice has more to do with something I've been trying to understand. The attached photo shows the situation -- I've got a "Geo Location" select widget followed by a "Primary Destination" select widget. This was created as follows:

1. Created "Geo Location" vocabulary in Category module
2. Added a CCK Taxonomy field to a new Content Type, and selected "Geo Location" as the taxonomy to use
3. After the form submit, I'm prompted for additional info including editing the label for the select widget; I change the widget label from the machine name to "Primary Destination"
4. When I create content using the new Content Type, two selects are displayed rather than one

robertDouglass mentions on this post (http://drupal.org/node/169083) that zero content types should be associated with the gallery to make only the CCK Taxonomy form appear. However I've now noticed doing so causes modules such as Hierarchical Select (http://drupal.org/project/hierarchical_select) to disappear on a Content Type form ...

Thanks pingers for the pointer!
Did not realize how quickly it integrates into views and tables.

This module is freakin brilliant as I just discovered it...no more hacks and copying of the "book" in order to categorize custom content.

IMHO this mdoule is a Must for/with CCK.
Thank you thank you thank you for supporting this module and making it in the first place!!!
