Hi Jonathan,

Yes I realised that is was for looping for the cart, I was trying to transfer
the whole cart in a variable and then hoping to loop it, maybe it's not
possible though?

Yes, that would also work, I guess I would need a perl routine to determine the
number of lines as it would not necessarily be the same as nitems, do you have
such a routine? I am not good with Perl.

The session can be easily maintained by sending a variable with [data session
id], I can use the callback page to write the transaction and userdb tables but
I am struggling with the orderline table as I cannot use [item-list] on the
callback page.

That might work if I can determine the number of order lines and then how to use
the loop tag.

Thanks,
Andy.
