If so, then the first line will select a new cart value and the second will attempt to purchase it (and fail because there is nothing there).OR, the way I have always designed sites, the ThankYou page is only reached AFTER the purchase has taken effect. Did you make sure that the previous page didn't complete the purchase (via command or context)? That would also explain the behavior.When you get this error, can you locate the cart in the Orders directory?John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
