skublah...etc. into something else?Not a problem. Even though our order file format is fixed in that particular arrangement, there is nothing stopping you from using the [WriteFile] context to write your own file in any way you want. Embedded in your 'thank you' page that displays right after they click purchase you can put something like:[WriteFile YourFile.txt][date],[time][LineItems][sku],[price][/LineItems][/WriteFile]This would of course write to a file called YourFile.txt all the time, but it's easy enough to change that:[WriteFile :SpecialFolder:[cart]]Which would write a file in a folder called SpecialFolder, and the filename would be whatever the cart number is.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
