Because it happened that way. 8-) Vend, which Minivend then Interchange was based on now more than 10 years ago, didn't have both addresses, only one. Originally I had it the other way, but early on in the life of Minivend someone made a persuasive argument -- which I cannot remember -- to make shipping address rule. By the time anyone gave plausible arguments to switch it back, the structure of the database and code had acquired enough inertia to prevent it. Actually, it really doesn't make that much difference. You have to collect both if they are different and one if they aren't. -- Mike Heins Perusion -- Expert Interchange Consulting http://www.perusion.com/ phone +1.765.647.1295 tollfree 800-949-1889 <suppressed> Some people have twenty years of experience, some people have one year of experience twenty times over. -- Anonymous _______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list suppressed http://www.icdevgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users
