I've read (and am following) the HOW-To, but I seem to be missing something. I have a ZSQL method called GatCat which reads: SELECT * FROM Categories WHERE <dtml-sqltest CatID type=int> My external method reads (in part): def CategoryPath (self, baseURL, catID): div = " / " catPath = "" while (catID != 0): results=self.GetCat (CatID=int(catID)) ...lotsa boring logic in here... return catPath When I attempt to call this external method from a DTML method as so: <dtml-var "CategoryPath('http://www.kanga.nu/', 1)"> I get the following error: The database connection Library_database_connection cannot be found. GetCat works fine when tested by itself as well as when called from DTML methods by anonymous users (ie the permissions seem fine). What am I missing? -- J C Lawrence Home: claw@kanga.nu ----------(*) Other: coder@kanga.nu --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--
