From your description is looked like you were merging the properties of two objects into one report, which (IMO) is beyond my personal dander-level for dtml. dtml's simplicity comes from only having one namespace, which is only really enough for manipulating one object at a time. (Ive looked back on your original post and cant quite match up the code to your explanation, so my comments may be unjustified here. "blame dtml" has become an automatic reaction, partly because I had been burned many times by problems similar to what you describe)
dtml-in is a particularly bad at polluting the dtml namespace (which is particularly serious because you have only got one of them) It makes the presentation of database queries really easy....
Mmmm, too easy. Toby Dickenson tdickenson@geminidataloggers.com
