mm, currently getting None back so I guess I'm not wrapping things  
properly.

This is a skeleton bit of code:

class ContentType(PortalContent):
     """A content type with access to an external database"""

     def __init__(self, id):
	self.id = id
         DA = getattr(self, 'MyDA', None)
	#self.conn = DA() # not working at the moment because DA is None

Is it wrong to try and do this in my __init__ ? Regarding your other  
suggestion: yes, I probably will factor this out into a utility once  
I've worked out how to access the DA!!!
