If you are using the '?add' command and including an additional URL parameter, then the answer is, I believe, no. Using a [addlineitem] context is much more likely to give you the control you need.Formulas.db is only used (currently) when adding an item to the cart. As such, it automatically gains access to the current orderfile header fields, any and all fields from the database that is included as part of the add command/context, all builtin webcat contexts, and AFAIK any and all active form variables at that point on the page.To confirm this, add something like this to the price line in your formulas.db: [WriteFile SomeTextFile][FormVariables][index],[name],[value]
[/FormVariables][/WriteFile](obviously all as a single line). This will show you exactly what is available for you to use within the formulas.db.HTHJohn-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
