Every compact disc has a unique name in the db. Every CD has a default [Price] value of $15. I want to calculate a price based on quantity discounts. So if someone buys 1 CD (1 lineitem) the price is $15. If they buy 3 CD's (3 lineitems) , I want the price to go to $12 a CD ($36). If they buy 6 (6 lineitems), I want the price to go to $10 a CD ($60). And if there were 4 or 5 line items the price would hold to $12 a CD.I believe I need to find the value of the number of lineitems, and use this value [xxx] in a lookup to the formula.db.Before I go mucking about, could someone steer me in the right direction on this?Charley Conquest Fresh Music chas@valley.net --- end of quote ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
