There is no standard rythem for manipulating the class without an instance. At least not that I know of. It can be done, however, because it can be done from the managment interface. Anything that you can do with clicks in a browser you can do with DTML, it's just in this case your problem is necessarily complex because we never, ever, considered your use case when we engineered ZClasses. This is one of the reasons why software can be dificult to use, because the engineers did not KNOW in advance how you wanted to use it. But you want to do this so I suggest you look at how the managment interface traverses through the Control Panel and Products to manipulate ZClasses. Using URL introspection, you should be able to deduce how to do this. I would help you but I honestly don't know how it would be done myself. -Michel Jon Prettyman wrote:

If I have a ZClass with a property sheet called 'Info', how can I get access to the sheet when I DON'T have an instance of that ZClass to work with.

Specifically, I want an ADD form for my ZClass that has an ID field and a dynamically generated section containing all the properties from 'Info' all on ONE from. I can't seem to figure out how to dynamically generate the property section without an instance to work with.
