Yeah, Finding the named parameters is the fun part :{ I have been having more success with it lately though and can now put data in new dtml docs or in FileStorage/ZODB :). Speaking of which, can anyone tell me the practical size limit of the ZODB? For example, could 100,000 small documents be stored and indexed/searched without much trouble? How many records could I store using the BTree package? Is an SQL back-end my best choice for large amounts of small records? I have no background in DB's so any help would be welcome. Thanks.

The thing with calling Zope (Python?) methods through xml-rpc is that xml-rpc is purely positional in the way it uses parameters, while a lot of Zope (Python?) is a mixture of named and positional.
While named parameters are a great thing when you want default values, other times (such as this) they can cause a problem. The only real answer is to discover what the default values are and make sure that all parameters required are passed.
The other big problem of course is that xml-rpc has no notion of 'None' or any representation of it. This can cause problems where None is a valid value for a parameter.
Just a few thoughts that may be pertinent :)
