"manage_editProperties" has the following signature: def manage_editProperties(self, REQUEST) As you see, there is indeed no parameter named "contact". You can do instead: self.manage_editProperties({'contact' : newcontact}) This means, you build a dictionary with the new property values and pass it as REQUEST. Be WARNED: "manage_editProperties" changes *ALL* properties of your object, even those not mentioned in the dictionary! What you may want to use instead is "manage_changeProperties". It will change just the mentioned properties, 'contact' in your example. I think, you find this information in the Zope integrated help system (API Reference, Property Manager). If not, then look at the source: OFS.PropertyManager.PropertyManager. It contains good source documentation. Dieter
