Hello Mike and Interchange users

Thanks (again) for taking the time to read and study this.

OK, I'll give some more details. It happened only
in flypage.html, nowhere else. In the same time I
was able to add the product to the cart, see its
description, etc... IRDA-01 is the valid sku for
a product. And this error came for all the products,
not just this one.
As workaround, I passed to a InMemory table and it
works fine (except some small problems I solved)

A restart of IC server didn't solve the problem.

I'm not using UI at all.

Have a nice day,
bye
