If not, then no amount of pvprice=xx will be able to replace a field that doesn't exist.The syntax for replace with a database that has a price field is [replace db=product.db&eqskudata=[sku]]price=[math][price]*.95[/math][/replace]Notice there is no = after replace, and there is no & at the beginning of the interior of the replace context.Also [math][pvprice]=[pvprice]*.95[/math] doesn't make sense; remember that anything with [] around it gets substituted with its real value _first_, so the line above would read[math]6.45=6.45*.95[/math], which is not possible.These are just little syntax problems, but they make the whole thing not work. ----------So, why are you doing this temporariy price thing? Is it to give certain persons a discount while they're at your site? If so there are much better ways to do that, and they don't require modifications to your database.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
