If you were selling pictures or software, there would just be the one copy that gets sent to the WebDelivery folder.So the simplest answer here is for you to pre-create files in your stockroom that are each named the same as the serial number you are selling. So if there are 1000 serial numbers, then there are 1000 files in the stockroom.Or, if you want to do what you described in 1,2,3 above, you can store the text [cart].tmpl into textA, and change your WebMerchant preference so that it uses textA for the WebDelivery file name. The preference is a popup at the bottom of WebMerchant's prefs dialog.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
