texte = Hi Chris, Thanks for testing. I just identified what I believe is the real problem. The [random] tag generates repeatable not random series of digits when used like this: [getchars start=1&end=14] [loop start=1&end=14] [random] [/loop] [/getchars] The chance of generating two identical values using this code should be one in 10 trillion so I was relying on this code to generate unique 14 character values when I could not use the [cart] tag to generate unique values ... but in an 80-line db I found that several of my skus contained repeating values generated by this code. :( My guess is that my replace context which used max=1 was replacing the [itemQuantity] value in only one of the matching sku records, then my search context was displaying the other matching sku record which had not been changed. This appeared to be a failure of the [replace] context when viewing the search results, and it wasn't until I looked at the db manually that I found the repeating sku values. Conclusion: The [random] tag generates values in the same pattern when used one after the other as in my code above, so don't use several [random] tags in a row if you need a unique value. Question: What do the rest of you use to create a bunch of unique sku values in one WebDNA template?
