WebDNA should be able to do the following: 1.) have [purchase] work like [movefile] in the way that you can specify where the "orders" directory is.. can default to current state. (null if [purchase] only performs a movefile since one can use movefile instead) 2.) Have the ability to designate a Formulas.db from any of the cart tools. (ie [addlineitem file=../ShoppingCarts/[cart]&db=products.db&formulapath=../] I say "any of the cart tools" because there are aspects in the orderfile that are used by other contexts.. shipping,tax etc..
