Here is more detail about my failed attempts to have IC insert a record
in the table order_info when an order is placed. In my
...etc/log_transaction file I changed the line

[loop list="transactions orderline inventory userdb"]
to
[loop list="transactions orderline inventory userdb order_info"]

I then added

[import table=order_info]
code: [value mv_order_number]
[/import]

just before the closing [/try] tag. But in my .../interchange/error.log
I see entries like this when an order is placed, and no record is
inserted into the order_info table.

...Error creating dummy database for icmenu: Can't call method "new" on
an undefined value at /home/store/interchange/lib/Vend/Data.pm line 752.

The key column for the order_info table is named order_number I'm hoping
someone can provide a clue or a link to appropriate docs?
