[Zope] Problem Accessing a Z SQL Method

[Asad Habib]

Hello. I am still having a problem with this. What I don't understand is
why I am getting an error when both DTML methods involved and the Z SQL
method being called are in the same folder. In this case(by default), Zope
should be looking in this folder for the Z SQL method when the second DTML method
calls it. If the DTML method and Z SQL method were in different folders, then it
is possible to lose the context. Help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
