Okay,
If Add to Cart creates only Strings, help me here...
What creates the OrderID? Is it dynamic or does it derive its value from a binding?

I looked in my order server behavior, e.g., and I see that my datatypes are being RESET.

In my DB Orders table, OrderID is set to int
In the Summary Database on the Confirm page, I have OrderID set to TEXT and it derives its value from Cart>Display info ID.

In the eCart Object, Column ID is set to Number / Unique...

BUT in the Add To Cart Binding I had it set to ItemName which was a varchar... like IMG525
So I assume that would throw off the datatypes? We have a string that is being treated like a number?

I also foresee a problem if OrderID= Column ID = ItemName or number, IF the catalog has 10 of the same item! The OrderID might never be unique!
