When you changed your formulas, you did make sure WebCatalog knew about the new ones by first flushing it's databases, right? And those things are actually tab characters, right? And those formulas are case-sensitive, so you used unitShipCost, and taxRate and shipCost?And the file is called Formulas.db and it's sitting in the same folder as your store templates?How about the GeneralStore -- do its formulas work?
