Put just that above line in a template and hard-code [theSKU] and see if it works. There are a couple of things that could be happening (your context is formed correctly AFAICT):1) the database is not where you think it isIn this case, the template should be in a directory directly above a directory called admin which contains the products.db. If this is not the case, change your db= line to correspond to reality.2) [theSKU] is not being passed onto this pageIf in doubt, you should always throw an HTML comment at the top of the template with the form variable you are questioning, something like this: since that way you can see exactly what the form has for that variable before it is used in any context.HTHJohn-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
