Can it run on the sameserver as WebCatalog?  If so, it can just read files locally.  If not, canyour software access an SSL web page?  If so, it can hit a URL on theWebCatalog site with all the credit info securely served.Technical Support                 | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ====Pacific Coast Software            | WebCatalog, WebMerchant,11770 Bernardo Plaza Court        | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster,San Diego, CA 92128               | Typhoon619/675-1106  Fax: 619/675-0372   | http://www.smithmicro.com/
