texte = I have some ideas.Ok... so then it is given that a user must have an account to start shopping. So, then every user has a field in the db called LIMITED and you can set this to T or F and another called LIMIT or something that gets set to a value if LIMITED is T.All you need to do then is to compare the value of LIMIT to the value of GRANDTOTAL in the cart for those that get LIMITED shopping access. You could even be cool and do something like tell them when they are getting close or as well as showing them a running total you can display a 'how much left to spen' kind of thing.Sounds like fun actually ;)Help? -CharlesOn Wednesday, February 5, 2003, at 01:57 PM, Craig Forest wrote:> Hi, > > I was asked to develop a store that allows users to log in and > purchase products within a given budget.
