You can use your own scheme, perhaps with a small one-record database that always increments a field value to the previous value + 1, and just make sure that people always enter your store thru the same entry page (the page that generates the new cart number). Carts do not have to be numbers; they can be any text that is a legal filename, up to 31 characters for Mac and 255 for PC.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/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
