(See the docs.) That's why a field name like [state] is unacceptable. You can, however, use the value of [state] if you name it TextA-E in the formula.On the page in which the item is selected to be added to the shopping cart, set the input name as [TextA-E] and its value as [state].In the Formulas.db, use the [TextA-E] values. The state=[state] or shipvia=[shipvia] values simply won't be used in the price calcs.In the orderfile contexts on the ShoppingCart page, you can have the state shown, but only if you call it [TextA-E].The use of variables in the Formulas.db and the orderfile context isn't intuitive, IMO, because of the restrictions on field names. It's a security thing to prevent unauthorized changing of [price].Glenn ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
