You'll notice that when you do $Add or $ShowCart, you send it the db for exactly this reason.WebCatalog does some fancy trickery to simplify your WebDNA inside [LineItems]. If it finds a [xxx] variable it doesn't recognize as one of the predefined textA-E kinds of things, it does a [Lookup] based on the [Sku] of that lineitem and if it finds valid information it will display it.If it turns out there's a bug in WebCatalog that causes this trickery to stop working for some reason, then you can work around it by putting [Lookup] inside your lineitems loop yourself.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
