Is there something that I'm missing here? I didn't see any big difference between the management interface calling these routines and my python calling them...

Kevin,

I _think_ the problem is that the copy/paste machinery really needs to be called with a REQUEST so that it can verify whether the copy is allowed. Try this and let me know if you still have problems:

def candp(fobj, tobj, REQUEST): "Copy and paste"

ids = fobj.objectIds() if not ids: return cdata = fobj.manage_copyObjects(ids) tobj.manage_pasteObjects(cdata, REQUEST)

I made these changes, and modified my DTML to be: <dtml-call "candp(fobj, this(), REQUEST)"> I'm getting the same error (one or more items not found). Here's the end of the traceback... File C:\Program Files\Byproducts\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_Util.py, line 315, in eval (Object: candp(fobj, this(), REQUEST)) File <string>, line 0, in ?
