Thanks for your reply whpalmer4.
I had considered partial templates, but feared that it would be even more tweaking as I copied & pasted each bit in. But I have been thinking in terms of a PROJECT per show. If I make each a FOLDER as you suggest, then all the sub-template bits (eg prerecord interview) can be projects already sitting there with status PENDING, so its a simple matter to change it to ACTIVE.
So now I just need
Curt's template copier to work at folder level. Does any one know if that's a hard modification ?
