Ken suggested saving used cart #s in a db that one can use to do a lookup and>see if that cart # has been used. Great. I already save all the cart data into an orders.db. But I am wondering if it is less of a load to do the lookup into another db that saves *only* the used cart number (as opposed to my orders.db which has a few dozen fields>in it). Does it make that much difference?No difference at all. Lookups ignore all but the *one* field you're looking in. Just use the db you already have and you'll be fine ...================================Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant808-737-6499, http://webdna.net================================-------------------------------------------------------------Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.To end your Mail problems go to
