texte = check the sytax of the tag [lookup] and the context [showif] in the docs. Your code for the first part of that price formula looks wacky. Probably you meant -[showif [basket]=1]price=15[/showif]...but also note that you really want-[showif [basket]=1]15[/showif](you don't have to put price= in those showifs. That is what the formula is already trying to do.)so the whole formula.db record would be something like----- Name
