(this should be replicated on non merchant stores I suppose).The reason I was interested is that I am about to work out a "session timeout" for shoppers. I was thinking ofusing the [date]&[time] inside of the orderfile. I can still do this, as I would have to use an [orderfile cart=[cart]] anyway to access thedate and time for the checking (on all pages). But I'm thinking savingto to a database would be faster anyway because of the time it takes to open an orderfile compared to doing a [lookup].Right now, lunch sounds better than figuring all this out. ;-)Donovan> > Thanks again,> Brian> -- =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o DONOVAN D.
