(no flames please.)Well, personally I have found that WebCat is absolutely fantastic at performing multiple lookups and/or searches with multiple SKU's on a page. I do all kinds of multiple lookups and multiple searches with WebCat -- all the time -- and never once have I had any problems with multiple SKU's!There's no difference between a SKU value and any other data value, it's all just text to WebCatalog, so I fail to see how you can come to the conclusion that WebCat has problems with this.I'm interested in learning what kind of problems you seem to be having when you say webcatalog is not good at dealing with a detail page with multple SKUs on it ... ? If you have an example of something that you believe cannot be done with WebCat, please let me know, I'd like to tackle it personally.Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions http://www.smithmicro.com/webdnasolutions/.
