You are using the wrong tool then. If you just want the content from one folder, and not the subfolders, you should not use the catalog but get them directly from the folder. root_folder_content = container.root_folder.objectValues('News Item') regards Max M

Path indexes are unable to do that. They have the property: When an object with path "somepath/id" is a hit than any object with path "somepath/anotherpath" is also a hit. You are therefore unable to restrict the depth of the hits (to the root folder in your case). In your case, you may directly use "folder.ContentValues(['News'])" (or similar; I am not sure about spelling). An alternative would be to enhance PathIndex with a "depth" parameter which allows to restrict the depth of hits. Dieter
