I changed mv_click to be JLogin and added

[set JLogin]
mv_order_item=os20000
[userdb login]
[/set]

which did that but i have a more worrying concern. i want to be able to 
enter a value in a text field, pull it out and then translate it into an 
sku before submission. any ideas how i might do this? Again i stress 
that i really am not too sure of what i'm up to here. I've looked about 
in the docs and am putting this together bit by bit. If anyone can point 
me to a good place to look about interchanges form submission process 
and anything relevant to my problem in particular, i'd much appreciate it...

Atm just trying to enter an sku in a text field still orders the item 
twice. ie

<input type=text name=mv_order_item>

orders the same item twice.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks

John
