Here is my method rename2: <dtml-call "manage_renameObjects(ids=[oldlid], new_ids=[newid])"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('deleteForm2')">

and here is the form that calls it deleteform2: <form action="<!--#var URL0-->" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <dtml-in "objectValues(['File'])"> <input class="form-element" type="text" name="<dtml-var id>" size="40" value=" <dtml-var id> "><br>

</dtml-in> <input type=hidden name="ids:tokens:default"> <input class="form-element" type="submit" name="rename2:method" value=" Save Changes "/> </form>

When I submit the form I get the following: Error Type: NameError Error Value: global name 'oldlid' is not defined

You need to have a form variable named "oldid", and you can reference it as REQUEST.oldid. Similarly for newID. You can arrange that by calling each of the form elements by the same name, "oldid:list" (and similarly for newid, of course). You only need to add ":list" in case you might one time have only one, because it would be returned as a string instead of a list. Then in your method rename2, you would not use brackets to make oldid a list, because it already is one. BTW, you might as well get rid of the old syntax and write <form action="<dtml-var URL0>" It is odd to see the old !--# and the new dtml- mixed together. Cheers, Tom P
