texte = >How come the Order file knows other stuff - like SKU, QTY but not the >TITLE?Those are the minimum requirements for it to be able to calculate the total on the order. To provide a counterexample of why we don't just stick *everything* into the order file, imagine if your database had 100 fields, each of which had voluminous amounts of text in them. We don't know which of those is important to you, and it would be unwieldy to copy them all to the order file.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
