It is a classic issue with the passed session in a variable, and easily fixed with a small amount of code. I am not in my office right now but I'm sure I've posted a link to a page with the code. You could probably find it in the archives.Basically, you do a lookup to your orders.db on every page. If a cart number exists already, redirect to your home page. This causes the user to start fresh before they have added anything to the cart.- DonovanP.S. that is probably the issue.. but other things, such as a hard coded CART number, can cause this message as well.-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to Web Archive of this list is at: http://webdna.smithmicro.com/
