Then whenever I get to the point where I set a cookie I only set the cookie if either the cookie sent by their browser is equal to clear or equal to nothing (the case when they've never visited the site). In other words use [getcookie] to check for a valid cart, if it is not valid use [setcookie] to set a cookie. I try to wrap all this logic into an include file which I can just include at the top of all pages. The only trick to remember is that you can not use [getcookie] and [setcookie] on the same page. -Josh ------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
