Re: [mv] Records in Transactions.gdbm being deleted

[Ed LaFrance <edlafrance@printexusa.com>]

Thanks Gideon, I have the [export...] tag set up on my receipt page as
well, it was in one of your list postings from a while ago that I
originally found that idea.

Unfortunately, that does not address this recent problem,which I reiterate
was not present during extensive testing I did a couple of months ago.  To
attack it from a different angle, does anyone know what (if any) commands
or conditions would cause all records for an entire order to be deleted
from the transactions db immediately after they are created?  I say it this
way, because the keys are still there, but all other fields are empty, and
when viewing the db in table view with Minimate, the word "DELETED" appears
where each field should be on each row.  Note that the receipt and order
emails displayed/transmitted correctly.  Should I be looking at tags on the
checkout.html page?  Is these some directive in Catalog.cfg to force a
write to transactions db?  My guess is that I inadvertently changed
something while working on the project, but I do not know where to begin to
look!  Any help or pointers that anyone can provide would be greatly
appreciated.
