It is true that deeper levels of recursion use up a certain kind of memory called stack space, but WebCatalog will report when it runs out in case you recurse too deep. We have rewritten WebCatalog (3.x and up) to be much more efficient about stack space.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
