What gives?What do you have in your formulas.db file for [price]? Is the formulas.db file in the same folder as the template where you are adding orders to your cart?I believe [SubTotal] will always be the price times the quantity for all lineitems, but it's usually possible to do some fancy WebDNA with either your price formula or your shipping cost, or add a new line item with a negative price to the cart when they order, to create a discount based on whatever criteria you wish.In any case, if you can't get [price] to use the formula in formulas.db, send me some more details and/or a URL where I can have a look, and I'll check into it.I hope this helps,Marc Eagle StarNine Technologies http://www.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
