The refresh tag would be inside a [HideIf] construct which checks to see if either a problem file has been created or if all the relevant [URLSKU]s have been generated. If the problem file has been created the refresh would be stopped (hidden) and the same is true if all the [URLSKU]s have been generated.In the body of the page: - If a problem file has been created the Your card did not go through text would be [ShowIf]ed with whatever additional information is needed. - If the [URLSKU]s have all been created they would be [ShowIf]ed in the standard download your files here way. - If neither the problem file nor the [URLSKU]s have all been generated then the Still processing card would be [ShowIf]ed until the page refreshes again.Now for the questions:- Can the refresh tag be used this way to keep bringing up the same page for repeated WebCat processing and how does the cart and other passed data fare in the process ?- Is there an easy way to do a FileExists in WebCat or would I need to use a [ListFiles] construct with checks for the filename(s) as I step through the files ?Since I may be way off in my concept I'll quit here and wait to find out if there are showstoppers that I hadn't thought of before going into more detail.So, do I get sent back to the showers again :-)Thanks, -Sven_____________________________________________________________________ Sven U.
