Hi ZopeGODS, I am happy and understand acquisition when applied to acquiring objects above the current directory. I have an application that manipulates lists /Mgr /RenameDocID /Rename /Delete /Lists /List1 /List2 /List.... I have succesfully implemented tools like Rename, Delete, New that create and manipultate lists is the Lists directory. However being a tidy minded sort of programmer, my Mgr folder is starting to get bloated - I do hate scrolling :( I thought it might be a good idea to include the tools in a Tool folder ie /Mgr /Tools /RenameDocID /Rename /Delete /Lists /List1 /List2 /List.... I can call the Rename method using <dtml-var "Tools.RenameDocID( _.None, _)"> fine. Problem arises that my rename process is to parts, I call RenameDocID which has a form to display the oldname and capture the new name. How can I then define the action location in the form? Code included below: RenameDocID method: <form action="RenameDoc"> <---------???????? <h3>Rename from: [<dtml-var "REQUEST['FileName']">] to :</h3> <input type=text name=NewName width=20 value=NewName> <input type=hidden name=OldName width=20 value='<dtml-var "REQUEST['FileName']">'> <p> <input type=submit name=Rename value=Rename> <input type=submit name=Cancel value=Cancel> </form> RenameDoc <dtml-if "_.hasattr( REQUEST, 'Rename' )"> <dtml-call "manage_renameObject( REQUEST['OldName'], REQUEST['NewName'] )"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect( 'index_html' )"> <dtml-else> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect( 'index_html' )"> </dtml-if>

An easy way of doing this is to use the Transparent Folder product. Create one called 'Tools', put all your code in there & voila - a tidy root folder! Ivan
