Its something that we may have to dealwith come sept-oct.Basically it says that the FDF file can be 'sent' somewhere and bere-imported into a PDF document that contains the same form fields.So this being said, I could see a pdf doc waiting on the server and theWEBDNA form creating a FDF file in the proper format... Then when you sendthem to the PDF doc it imports the DATA into the proper location.To avoid the sharing of data issue that comes from this, I would say thatthe FDF would probably need to be named with a cart number. If it cant havea different name you could overcome it by creating a CART Dir and call thefdf from there or something.I didn't have too much time to look at it right now but it seems like thepotential answer you seek is definitely there.AJMAlex J McCombie New World MediaChief Information Officer Box 124888/892.6379 MartVille, NY 13111Alex@NewWorldMedia.com http://OurClients.comInterface Designer WebDNA Programmer Database Designer-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to Web Archive of this list is at: http://webdna.smithmicro.com/
