Hi Rich

It looks like entry.html has an actual cart, so I think circumventing the
price might be difficult. You may have to make it an on-the-fly item, which
gives you alot of head room. Maybe have a selectbox that says
"regular|custom" and if it is custom, have IC build an OnFly item right then
and there before the recalc is submitted.

However if this is for giving a customer a price break, or credit because of
a shipping mixup (or whatever) I would instead look into issuing a
[discount] within that cart.

BTW I have not done either of these in ADMIN, so I am just throwing ideas
up.

Paul
