Looking up your attributes object through objectValues will prevent acquisition - rather than just asking the object to find an attributes object for you, you're asking it for any attributes object amongst its children only. To search for your attributes object with acquisition, you could do: getattr(context, 'Attributes object') If the id of your attributes object did not contain a space (or anything else illegal in a python identifier), for example AttributesObject, you could just do: context.AttributesObject Thanks, Malcolm. -- [] j a m k i t web solutions for charities malcolm cleaton T: 020 7549 0520 F: 020 7490 1152 M: 07986 563852 W: www.jamkit.com _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
