Be careful *not* to write a lookup as if it were a context, because it's not a context -- it's a simple webdna *tag*. This is probably similar what you want, but you'll have to change the db and field name references to make it work on your site:[lookup db=customers.db&value=[Account]&lookinfield=SKU&returnfield=[lookup db=yourPrice.db&value=???&lookinfield=SKU&returnfield=Price]]And don't forget, the value parameters must match the corresponding database field values *exactly*, including uppercase and lowercase characters ...Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
