> Put a barcode on your coupon and you wouldn't have this issue. Agreed... or at least a unique code. Either one would accomplish 2 things.
1) Validating the coupon as genuine (and looking up any other info on it like date issued, expiration date and actual discount info to make sure those werent monkey'd with) 2) Ensuring that the same code wasnt used again since you could basically render the coupon invalid once it's code has been returned to the system with the swipe of a barcode or a few keystrokes to enter the unique code. There are a few free barcode fonts out there as well as programs to generate them. It should be pretty simple. -----Original Message----- From: Casey Dougall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 09, 2006 2:24 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CF Print coupon one time - STUMPER On 11/9/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > All, > > We use MeadCo's ScriptX ActiveX control on our Cold Fusion site for printing coupons > from a hyperlink without prompting the print dialog box.
