I can't tell for sure without your templates, but my guess is that you're hitting this page with either command=ShowCart or command=Add. Either one of those commands automatically will set your header fields (without needing the explicit [SetHeader]) if the name of the form variable is ShipToZip, but not if it's named anything else.If you hit this page with command=Add, then the formula is evaluated *before* the [SetHeader] tag, so it won't know the value of [ShipToZip] yet. I suppose you could use [__ShipToZip] in your formulas instead, but it's really better to use the 'natural' header field names that the cart natively knows about already.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/
