texte = >Quick question - If I have a shipping scale that looks like the following: >up to $99.99 = $8.00 shipping/handling >$100.00 to 199.99 = $11.00 s/h >etc.Since you are probably going to have a long list of price breakdowns, the best solution here is to create a database with the price ranges in it, and then perform a search to get the right shipping charge. For clarity, this is preferable to a bunch of nested [ShowIf] tags.I'd create a database like this: -- ShipTable.db -- Amount Shipping 0.00 8.00 100.00 11.00 200.00 13.00..and I'd put a shipCost formula in like this: -- Formulas.db -- shipCost [search db=ShipTable.db&leAmountdata=[subtotal]&deAmountsort=1&Amounttype=num&max=1][fou nditems][Shipping][/founditems][/search]The search finds all the shipping charges up to the highest allowable charge, but since it sorts in descending order and returns only 1 item (max=1), it effectively finds only the 1 shipping charge that pertains.Make sure you don't type any extra carriage returns on that formula: it should be one big long line with a tab after the shipCost text.
