Hi Everyone,

I've upgraded from version 3 to version 4 (with latest patches). Everything previewed ok locally but when I try and place a test order, I'm getting an error message as follows when I hit the purchase button:
########################
General Script Error Occurred
Error: Invalid section ID number
Press the Browser back button and try again or contact your ISP.
########################

Our version 3 had been modified a couple of years ago by my son but everything appeared to be working fine prior to the upgrade.

Does anybody have any suggestions/pointers?

One thing I have noticed (but this may be a red herring) is that in the source code on my product page, one of the form inputs still contains Actinic variables rather than HTML.
########
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="SECTION_BLOB" VALUE="NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONBLOB">
########
ie the name: 'SECTION_BLOB' and the value; 'NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONBLOB' have not been replaced by anything.

Should this be like this and could it be related?

Any help would be very much appreciated,

kind regards,

Richard Ward

Oops - problem solved - I spotted a missing variable and this seems to have fixed the problem.
