texte = > -----Original Message-----> From: josh [mailto:josh@pop-art.com]> Yes, all the sites are on the same computer and we want shoppers> to be able to navigate between sites with the same cart.I'm not sure if WebCat associates the product database with the shoppingcart or with individual items in the cart. It seems, based on your trialthat it is associated with the cart.With that in mind, you may want to put all products into a single databasewith an identifying field for which store they belong to. It's probably notmuch of a performance hit because it will occupy the same ram space with theaddition of an identifying field.If the product databases have the same fields, you might be able to make themaster database by making a file likemaster.db which would contain:[include avendor.db][include bvendor.db][include cvendor.db]and a separate master.hdr file which would contain the field names. Thatwould make individual db maintenance more simple.I would have to test to see if [include] contexts work in .db files. Ithink they would.-Pat
