Thanks to all, for clarifying this, it is confusing, but we are all learning
by experimenting ;^)

Hi there,
I remember I had the same problem when trying to create a Factory-based
content type based on the Document type. Though I have changed the 'meta
type' to 'My Document' (in the portal_types form), it is still recording it
as Document.

Maybe you can search for the items by 'Type' rather than  by 'Meta Type'. I
don't know what are the drawbacks of this methd, though.

Cheers,
