The current price formula just looks up the price field in your product database, I believe, but you could have fields like 'price1' 'price2' 'price3' etc. in your products database, and then use [showif] for the price formula in formulas.db to look up price1 if quantity is up to a certain amount, price2 if it is above that amount, and so on. Alternatively, instead of adding fields to your database, you could have the price formula generate a discount based on quantity, so that if the quantity is above a certain amount, the [price] is multiplied by .9, and so forth.I hope that makes a bit of sense,Marc Eagle StarNine Technologies http://www.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
