Hi J,

Try

[data base="productdatabase" field="size" key="[value code]"]

to display the contents of the field in "productdatabase"
(change it into your own filename) located in the database column "size" or
whatever and at row [value code].
This probably won't work with your current situation, but it's a hint.

(I do this to display the real country name instead of the country code:
[data base="country" field="name" key="[value country]"]
So for a country-code NL MV will display "Netherlands".
