where LookupAttributesAndCheckForPermission get's everything it needs out of the REQUEST.

You could use WITH CheckForPermission(REQUEST) and makeQuery() COMPUTE foo, bar, baz where CheckForPermission returns 1 if the permission is ok, or raises unauthorized otherwise. You might not need to pass in REQUEST if you're using a Python Script. You could also add in an argument to CheckForPermission that indicates the sort of permission to check for. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net
