I think the following formula should work:-- Formulas.db -- Name Formula shipCost [math show=f]tempSC=[lineitems][quantity]*[unitshipcost]+[/lineitems]0[/math ][showif [subtotal]>50]-[tempSC][/showif][hideif [subtotal]>50][tempSC][/hideif]This email will have a linebreak in the middle of the formula somewhere; you should make sure this is all on one line to work properly in your formulas.db.What we're doing with this formula is to first loop thru all the lineitems and use math to compute the qty*unitshipcost total for all items, then we decide if the order is more than $50. If so, we send back a *negative* shipCost, which sort of 'removes' the original shipping cost from the grand total. If the order is more than $50, we simply return the shipCost we just computed.Technical Support ********************************** Smith Micro, Internet Solutions Div | Formerly, Pacific Coast Software 16855 West Bernardo Drive | ------------------------- Suite 380 | eCommerce (WebCatalog) San Diego, CA 92127 | Software & Site Development 858.675.1106 | http://www.smithmicro.com 858.675.0372 (fax) **********************************------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
