texte = OK, so I have made a database and use the following formula as instead of [shipcost] in my Invoice.tmpl (I tried using it in the formula.db, but it didn't work, but that is fine 'cause now it is working in the Invoice page).$[lookup db=ship.db&lookInField=subtot&value=[subtotal]&returnField=shipping¬Foun d=over$500, please call]My ship.db looks like this: subtot shipping 1.0f 1 2.0f 1 3.0f 1 4.0f 1 5.0f 1 6.0f 1 7.0f 1 8.0f 1 9.0f 1 10.0f 1and so until 500But my shipping keeps getting returned as over$500, please call. Why can't the formula find the subtotal? Did I use the .0f incorrectly?Janna>Oh. I get it. I think you are right about using the lookup table.
