Hi,

I am writing a script to send customers an email copy of their
shopping cart recipt. While creating the variable "mailbody" which
will be plugged into my CDO.htmlbody, I need to gather some
information about their order. The script does a "Do while not
rs.eof" and assigns each rs(field) to a variable, which is then added
to the mailbody variable. Unfortunately, when i ask for the mailbody
variable later, I lose all of the information added to the variable
during my loop. I've tried everything I can think of to correct this
so I was hoping somebody out there would have some ideas. Is there a
better way of doing this? Script is included below.

Thanks,

Perry

where is your sql statement? if your only pulling one record from the databse you dont need a loop at all. also, the recordset paging can go. i also dont see anywhere in your mailbody where you tryi and use these variables. they should contain there values, your just not using them.

ooops. not enough coffee. i had some old variables in the mailbody.
thanks for the wake-up. i still have the same problem however. i do
need the loop because each time it loops it is adding the line items of
their order (part number, description, quantity, etc.) to the
mailbody...
