texte = My original question related to incoming links which contained Cart variables which didn't have a cart file created for them. To give you an example. (1) Someone visits my site, doesn't add anything to their cart, and then bookmarks a page which contains the Cart ID (2) A year later they use the same bookmark to visit my site, they will then arrive with the original Cart ID, and that will then be used as the Cart ID for the rest of their visit. At the point of arrival, I want to be able to identify Cart ID's (not cart files) which were issued more than 24 hours previously. Hope this clarifies the question. Thanks. Mark.
