If the customer ordered more than 4 items, in our original particular setup we had setup our CGI to reference the database record about the customer in that 4th line. In webcommerce's situation, just place a generic statement like:Remaining order ref: [cart] <- the good old cart numberThat is especially useful to have a number reference in MacAuthorize records to the customer's order. In our particular case we went even one step further where we placed the MacAuthorize's transaction record number back in our own database TOO! That way we had a good bi-directional link for tracking the records between the apps! If webcommerce can retrieve the MacAuthorize transaction number and stick it back into the order database that would be wonderful.Just a suggestion...Curt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | William Curt Eggemeyer Curt@mail.bzzzzzz.com | | BeeHive Technologies, Inc. | | http://www.bzzzzzz.com with a WebCam in Pasadena, California | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
