I am doing this on a different part of the web, where individuals can sign up for a mailing list and give us some information.Clearly, I would love to do this with my orders as well, capturing all information into a database so that I wouldn't have to get this info from the order file as you suggest. But, can I simply use the append command to write to a database at the same time I am using the shopping cart?Here is what confuses me. Currently, I am using the basic shopping cart that I took from the general store templates. The form already uses the hidden command showcart and purchase, and it is already calling the store db. Can I just additionally add a 2nd command to the same form, and call a 2nd db as well? How does this all work?Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.Tim ------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
