texte = >I'm wondering if frequently setting, resetting and >accessing these cart header fields will cause a big performance hitEverything is RAM-based as long as you're inside an OrderFile context, because SetHeader will look 'outwards' until it bumps into a context that contains the same OrderFile as the on in the SetHeader.Any template that you get to from ShowCart, Purchase, Add, Remove (all the commands that deal with carts) is automatically 'wrapped' inside an OrderFile, so a bunch of SetHeader tags on that page should be pretty fast.Naturally if you're not inside an existing OrderFile context, then SetHeader won't find any OrderFiles in RAM, and it will have to actually hit the disk in order to make changes to the order file.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
