[Risky]

dsparks,

The use of the order status code instead of its description has annoyed me also for some time, and its only that there are so many other things to get right in the leadup to going live that has stopped me pursuing this.

Anyway, thanks for your posting and guidance which I followed to the tee, by just cut and pasting, and .. it worked flawlessly. Exactly the outcome I wanted. I amended mail/order_invoice.tpl.

X-cart would do well to incorporate this as standard .. it just makes so much sense.

Thanks again
