texte = Hi Stuart I will need to look more into the batch processing with our CC processors but the main application for this initially is to batch download and print out orders so they can be dealt with by various members of staff, the outline I just gave is a lot more advanced than my first thoughts... although a nice goal ;-) FedEx may enable us to batch process stuff though which would lighten the load... Do you know of any applications that I should start looking at that would allow the importing of XML to be batch processed and printed?
