For a news-page i need to dynamically deliver a snippet (say the first 200 letters or so) of the latest updated document in my "newsarchive"-folder.

Initerating through the folder and finding the document, and displaying a link to it works like a dream, but how do i reference the content of the DTML-document ? I can extract properties, but how do i get to the content itself ??

Looks like this at the present :

I don't understand what your iterating twice over, but if the object your iterating over is a DTML Document you can get 200 characters of it's content with: <dtml-var sequence-item size=200> -Michel
