Hi Tim

...

NameError: theatre_class

It would seem that <string> is still raising its head. Any ideas? I do not think so. You get a name error: Zope does not know your "theatre_class" at this point.

It seems more likely, that DC changed to way ZClasses are located inside the constructor.

Take the generated ZClass constructor and simply add the "...REQUEST.set..." before the "createInObjectManager".

OK, I'm so sorry about this, you've been an absolute legend so far, and I really don't want to push my luck, but each time you solve something, I find something else that has broken. This is what my theatre_class_add method looks like (well, an excerpt anyway). <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('__name__', REQUEST['id'])"> <dtml-with "theatre_class.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "propertysheets.theatre_class_property.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"

Thanks to you, I now have a solution whereby I know I can redo all of the class instances I have created, and be sure that the error won't reappear. However, I'm sure from what you have said so far, there is a way around this that doesn't involve me 'writing off' all the instances that I have already created. My problem is, I'm a little out of my depth here! I don't understand the different behaviour between different folders. If you haven't already got tired of this, thanks very much. tim
