Where have all the folders gone?

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Veit,

Hmmm, I thought I tried that but.... ah, it works now... it kinda finds
it's document regardless of folder *if* it was created as RAW - I think
that's where I may have gone wrong.

The big difference appears to be in the tables - SOFM uses SOFM and BCS
uses SOOD. Non-RAW's seem to get a doument type EXT, so as long as I code
for that we're OK. I noticed you can still determine the correct doctype
via the body part attributes.

Happy, thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Mike
