Yes, that's what I'm doing - allocating the inventory when the item is added. Otherwise, IMO, it's like running around in the supermarket and taking things from one shopper's card and giving the items to the another one :DO
----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Schreiber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Are you saying that you're allocating inventory to that person when they put the item in their shopping cart (meaning it's no longer available for sale)? What I do is check inventory before it's placed in the cart to make sure there's adequate inventory, then I ignore it... When the order is to be placed, I re-check all the inventory and if anything is short I bounce them back to the cart with a message about what is no longer available... ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
