Hello Frank,

thank you for your respond. But i think, there is a way to solve it,
because i use 

[page href="[item-code]" send=1] More Info! [/page] 

and i think, MV is able to parse this with "%20". I.e. i use the
srchform and i search for "12345". MV can find it and i get the results
page and see the item "12345 6789". MV insert the item number into this
page. Why not with "%20", i.e. "12345%206789" ?

I have search around the MV perl module and with my bad capability of
perl, i can't find the part of the code on the right place to add a
line like

	$_ = <value of the item-code>;
	s/\ /\%20/;
	<value of the item-code> = $_;

to force MV to replace whitespace with "%20".

Any suggestions? Or is there a case why item-code don't have a
whitespace in the products.asc file?

Thanks!

Joachim
