Gotcha. In reading other posts it looked like PayPal had created the option of including a "custom" input tag in conjunction with a hosted button. In further reading, it looks as if this is still in production. A combination of the two would make sense because some fields have a greater need for tamper-proofing than others. I would still like to protect some fields while leaving the custom to be generated at run-time. Oh well, I guess a non-hosted button with manual tamper-checking is how I will implement for now. Thanks for your help, skier

Umm, I was doing a cross of both. Bad idea? I was using a hosted button but I was also adding a hidden input field between the form tags. If I enter the variable as you said on the button creation page, eg 'custom=123456ABCD', am I creating a constant or would '123456ABCD' be a placeholder? And, if so, how do I dynamically change the value per transaction?

Thanks, skier. Yes, down-the-line I intend to integrate with IPN but at the moment I'm doing it manually. I have downloaded the transaction history and, unfortunately, I still don't see the field. I do see a field titled "Custom Number" but it is blank. So is "Custom Number" supposed to hold the "Custom" variable? (If so, I have other issues, apparently.) Thanks, again -Bradley

It is not on the email from paypal nor on the transaction detail. I need that field to match the payment with the right account. Thanks -Bradley
