(Maybe...anyway). Anyway, how can I access the selected option value for an item in the shopping cart? Nice mods, by the way. 8) Thanks, Taj[/quote] The easiest thing to do is make a lookup function to get the weight. Then, you can edit the /includes/classes/shopping_cart.php and orders.php to obtain the info. The reason I use the products_attributes table instead is that all of the functions, processing and calculations you need flow better when everything happens in the same manner. Example: price_prefix and options_values_price are used in the calculation of $total ... if you added the weight in the products_attributes table you can follow that pattern through all the code and adjust the $weight to use the new weight in an easier manner. Sometimes it's easier to follow an existing field that behaves in a like manner to what you are trying to do than it is to modify un unrelated table/field to perform a function.
