Perhaps I am approching this from the wrong view. Since I have no examples to go by, and no references to this anywhere I can find. Here is the concept of what I would need to do, and if anyone on the list can help me, I will pay for your time: The database uses the standard WebCat Store setup. The database is set to look up records only. Each record has an unique email field in it. (called E-MAIL) It is set to go to the cart.tpl as a list. The cart.tpl is set to go to the invoice.tpl, allowing the person searching to enter their information. This is where I need to break from standard format: Example: If someone has 4 records selected and on their list, they enter their information, and click on SUBMIT They go to the Thank you page... The four records are send to their respective E-MAIL addresses; The Thank You e-mail goes to the e-mail address they have entered so they have a record of the information requested. If anyone can help me with this, (I am totally lost, as I am most of the time), I can send the .tpl files as they exist, or you can send me an example, whatever works for you.A note: I would like to point out a minor thing to whoever has been responding to me, regarding the reply below. You have a working knowledge of this software, what appears to be simple to you, and indeed may be, yet can be very complex to others. I have owed this software for some time now, and have only recently come to understand the some of the basic functions of it. It is very elegant software, and easy to use, (no DUHHH's please), as long as one has some kind of working examples, or even an idea of the internal process that the information in the d-base goes through. Your manual has been useless, I know must have been written by a Tech., because it ranks up with the MSAccess manual, which no average person can understand. I had to dig into this software and make it work by trial and error. I do thank you for this information, and it will help when I know where to put it in the .tpl files...>Gotcha. Then my earlier answer is the one that works in this situation.>It uses the [e-mail] field from your database in the [SendMail] context to>send to a different person each time through the [FoundItems] loop.>>(Greatly simplified for clarity)>>[FoundItems]>[SendMail to=[e-mail]]>[/SendMail]>[/FoundItems]Mail to: jv1@ee.netVisit my Page: http://www.web-maya.com Life IS what You Make it, so Make It GREAT!In your pondering of life, remember:1) Life is what happens, while you are making plans!2) Life is what happens as we walk through eternity!3) We are all one.
