As long as the items are added to the cart with Taxable=Y, they will be part of the calculation.When using ?Command=Add or [AddLineItem], you may have a TaxRate record in your Formulas.db, which will populate/update the header TaxRate field. However, you can reset that at any later time and the whole order will be recalculated on the next display. Lastly, you can override all of this nonsense by setting your own TaxableTotal header, which will force the value to be fixed.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
