Simple...part of the send routine is to check to see if any coupons for the current order have already been sent (yes you'll need to track the sending in the DB). Then just don't allow the coupons to be sent if some have already been sent. > > #2. How do I prevent the web form from being downloaded and submitted from > someone's desktop.

I think you're talking about form spoofing which is not a copy of your form on soemone's desktop. Anyways....same rule applies...if that order ID has already had coupons sent...it's done...do not allow the re-send to occur. HTH Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
