Heres a treat. I'm trying to write an external method to rename objects. I have approx 10,000 to rename so a script would be nice. No problem I thought, imitate a forms manage_renameObject and CopySupport.py can do the work.

Rename works fine from the web form, but not from a script. (ASPNTools.getsomeobjectsfromstring returns a bunch of objects, Ive tried replicating this with resolve_url and get different namespace error, could this be a clue?).

I would try using _delObject and _setObject instead. manage_renameObject() does some security checks that don't apply in your case. Shane
