If there isn't, check out. :-) regarding 2aii: depending on how your ordering flow goes, you might not have to go through as much trouble as above. I would incorporate a system similar to above IF you always need the correct values the cart each time its edited (for example, the cart is on the same page as the results). In this case, I would incorporate [setlineitem], [switch] and a flag variable that initiates code depending on "deleting" or "updateing" (editing). If you don't need the correct values until the invoice page then I would do the promotion code lookup first. In this case, you wouldn't have to reset the price in the above way because the prices would always be reset dynamically IF the code is valid. If the code is not valid, then you don't have to mess with any of the dicounting stuff (hide it entirely to save processing power). Good luck!
