This is getting to be more than frustrating.Glenn, did you do the test that I stated? In a site that I built I had to learn the formulas.db inside and out including multiple nested includes of code. I re-looked at them and I didn't use any outside vars. I either used [orderfile] vars or set newones within my includes. This leads me to believe that I forgot that you CANT pass non-orderfile variables into the formulas.db.Can anyone confirm or deny?If it is confirmed.. maybe you can setheader your needed data to a header1-40 and use that?At any rate, if you want to test it only hard code your [option] var and see if it works. If it does then your problem is that you are not getting that variable passed.Donovan> > > Glenn >-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------<><> Donovan Brooke <><>->ï ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
