What's really going on inside a [LineItems] loop when you display a field like [INV] is that a [Lookup] is being done for you that finds the corresponding SKU for that lineitem and grabs that field's value from the database. If you change the database, you change the value. If we didn't do this magic for you, then you'd be stuck doing lookups yourself in WebDNA every time you wanted a field out of the database, and that could look ugly real quick.The correct way to do this in your case is to use the textA-E fields in the order file to store values from the database at the moment you add something to the cart. [TextA] will always look in the orderfile itself rather than dynamically look in the database. You can see the GeneralStore stores the [Title] field this way.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
