Keep in mind that it's really a launching point for your store... it's not meant to be a one size fits all solution. You'll probably end up modifying the WebCatalog templates you find in the Store folder (and in the Admin folder in the Store folder) to suit your purposes.For instance, in my case, I needed a field for a Mac download name and a PC download name for each product. I added a column to the products.db file in Excel, changed the OTHER_INFO field to MAC_DL and named my new column PC_DL (by adding it to the products.hdr file in the right location). I also had to rename/add those fields in the full.tpl file, so that when I Add a product via StoreBuilder, the right field names show up.In your case, you would want to follow John's advice and experiment with the formulas.db to reassign prices from user input. You might be able to store all the optional prices along with each SKU, then use formulas.db to set the real price to the optional price depending on which option was selected. One thing that's (in my opinion) underdocumented: when you change an item's price in a formula or in an [addlineitems] context, you have to supply the Price Change password. That tripped me up for a long time.Hope this advice is right, as I'm pretty much a newbie myself...__________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
