Yes, you may use the formulas.db to store as many special formulas as you wish!What's more, when you retrieve those 'special' formulas from the formulas.db, you do NOT have to place them inside [interpret] contexts like you would if you stored them in any other database, because it is logically *assumed* that when a formula is stored in the formulas.db, it *must* be interpreted.However ...You must make sure to call your special formulas from within a search context -- just like you would if they were in any other database -- because there is no automatic mechanism for calling your 'special' formulas like webcat does when it automatically calls it's pre-defined eCommerce formulas (such as the ones you mentioned above).Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
