Indeed, multiple units of measure for each item is ideal. I mentioned dual units just for simplicity. The volume discounts are also an important component related to this. > Either way you are interested in going, I would be more than happy to > provide any assistance I can.

My biggest concern is thinking through the design with everyone so that it can be coded correctly from the start. I mostly code in Tcl, and have some Oracle pl/sql experience. I can work through some proof of concept revisions on my test server to get a handle on the task, then submit that to folks that can code perl/html interface changes better than I. I also will be working on a telnet interface so that users with wireless handheld devices and electronic scales can fill orders and produce barcode labels following the GSI-128 specification. Thats my area of expertise. -- Regards, Steve Redler IV, SR Technology ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
