But I get an error that says, On Special for only $Error: template ' file=MarkupCalc.inc&price=363.19' not found Here is the code I have in the banner ad:
On Special for only $[include file=MarkupCalc.inc&price=[lookup db=catalog.txt&lookinfield=sku&value=455303&returnfield=price]]
I made a MarkupCalc.inc file and pasted all the big bunch of [ShowIf] with [math] stuff in it.Am I missing something????????Thanks ! Mark B. Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
