numero = 59590
interpreted = N
texte = Thank you. This *is* the ENCTYPE style of form, and I fixed the problem by adding another named variable for sku in the [formvariables] context. This is just like the one for "thename" that is used in the default script. [showif [url][name][/url]^[url]"sku"[/url]] [text]sku=[value][/text] [/showif] This did the trick, as it carries the value when the form is posted for one picture to the next.
