That was how I had the code originally. Didn't help. I've already read the Zope 'book' (if I were using 2.3 (which I can't, because LoginManager doesn't work OOTB), I'd be using Python methods to do most of this instead. I'm not, I'm using 2.2.5) Thanks anyway.

(I know it doesn't sovle any concerns you have about dtml-with and SQL method, but your posting wasn't exactly to reproduce, and so even if submitted to the collector, isn't likely to get followed up)

While I'm at it, is <dtml-with foldername><dtml-var dtmlmethod></dtml-with> really the best way to call a DTML method of a folder?

Mostly, yes... BTW, checkout http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/ and have a good read :-) cheers, Chris
