Thanks Ed!

I have an order form with items that I am calling a "tour". That has 12 
items, one item shipped each month for a year.  There is a different 
cart,  basket.html, checkout.html mail_receipt, report, and receipt.html 
for this process. Each line item of the "tour" cart has a different 
delivery date. I added "ship_date" to the transactions and orderline 
tables. I am setting the ship dates on the order form. I will take your 
advice and set the mv_order_receipt on the checkout page for that cart.

My 2 questions now are:

(1) Why does the line
   "receipt           etc/receipt_alt.html"
that is inside the order route not work?

(2) What does the directive
   "SpecialPage  receipt  ../etc/receipt"
do, and what does that have to do with the route?

Thanks again
Rick
