I have some DTML code that looks like this: ----- <dtml-let version="'2.0'"> version: <dtml-var version><br> <tr> <td width="100%" class="displayinfo"><dtml-in list_Dependencies><dtml-var sso_data></dtml-in></td> </tr> </dtml-let> ----- "list_Dependencies" is a SQL Method that calls a MySQL database. The query for list_Dependencies is: ----- SELECT sso_data FROM SSOData,ProjectNames WHERE proj_name='<dtml-var description sql_quote>' AND proj_id=sso_id AND sso_field="Dependencies" AND sso_version='<dtml-var version sql_quote>' ----- Ugly, eh? You'll note that I'm using the dtml-var "description" in the query; this is a defined property of the containing Folder object. If I do a lookup only using the 'description' property all is well; however, the SQL Method can NEVER find the 'version' variable if it is defined by FORM data (or even using dtml-let, as above). I get a KeyError. What am I not understanding here? Is there some difference between explicit properties (like those declared in the Properties page of a folder) versus FORM data or a variable declared using dtml-let? If so, why can the SQL Method see one but not the other? Awaiting enlightenment and many thanks, Andrew -- Andrew J.
