That's gotta be one for the Zope quotes board, if I could onyl remember
the URL :-)

Hey, no problem, the help was much appreciated :-)

However, if anyone does know what constitutes a 'seperate object' in
ZODB terms, it be really useful to know.
I'm guessing a class which inherits from Persistent? Dictionaries don't,
'cos they're python builtins, which I'm pretty certain was the problem
in my case...
