After a brief cold-induced hiatus I'm please to report that things  
are working nearly as expected and once you've gone through the  
process things are indeed a lot tidier.

I've decided to bypass zope.formlib z3C.form for the time being to  
get a better idea for working with browser views and lump the  
processing into my __call__ method. I can add and delete rows and  
columns and save data, except that the contents of my tables, ie. the  
dictionary key and values don't survive a Zope restart.

My class head looks like this

class Table(UserDict, PortalContent):
	def __init__(self, id, rows=1, cols=1, *args, **kwds):  
UserDict.__init__(self, *args, **kwds) """Default table has one row  
and one column""" self.id = id

ie., I'm dependent upon Zope committing the changes to the database  
which it. Is there anything I'm missing like inheriting fom DublinCore?

Thanks!

Charlie
