It sounds like you're setting up a Book vs. Ship sequence, which we've already provided for one other customer in that WebMerchant understands that if the payMethod field is BK, then it does a PreAuthorization in MacAuthorize, and then later that exact same order file can be dumped back into the Orders folder for the final PostAuthorization. If this is indeed what you're trying to do, you should send me direct email so I can set you up.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/
