I think cart numbers are generated based on a formula that guarantees uniqueness - so if you shorten it, uniqueness is no longer guaranteed.Why not use a different method of generating customer numbers?The following WebDNA should append a new record to the customers.db database with a customer number that's one higher than the highest previous customer number in that database. Just make sure you start with a customer.db that has at least one record with a positive integer in the customerNumber field ... like the number 1 for example ... :)[append db=customer.db]customerNumber=[math][search db=customer.db&necustomerNumber=0&customerNumberType=num&decustomerNumberSort=1& max=1][founditems][customerNumber][/founditems][/search]+1[/math][/append] öïùíSincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions http://www.hui.net/dna/webdna.html
