Yes it does <grin>... And you helped! Thank you John.

My original description:
>>I have shop that sells a products that's based on a Width x Length form.
>>I've created a database to lookup the SKU (CODE). The database is called
>>vpa-lookup . I am trying to use that lookup to send the SKU (example:VPA-1-1)
>>to the basket and checkout page:
Alright, Based on John's idea, I've split the work between 2 pages...
The first page is set as follows:
<FORM ACTION="[process-target]" METHOD=POST>
....
<select name="mv_order_quantity">
....
<select name="mv_order_widthacross">
....
<select name="mv_order_lengthdown">
....
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_doit VALUE=refresh>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_nextpage VALUE=cat44a.html>
<INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Click here to calculate cost"> </FORM>
This does a great job of sending the values to the "cat44a.html" page. But
I still can't get the SKU number out of my "vpa-lookup" database. Here's
the second page:
<FORM ACTION="[process-target]" METHOD=POST>
.....
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_todo value=refresh>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_order_item VALUE="[value [ data table=vpa-lookup fiel
d='[value mv_order_widthacross]' key='[value mv_order_lengthdown]' ]]">
<INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Click here to Order this product"> </FORM>
When I look at the HTML source thats generated, I get this:
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_order_item VALUE="' key='26' ]]">
I can see where some of parts are getting replace....
Many thanks in advance!
Carl
