Ruth,

this is a quick fix (not tested) to avoid the error:

in the org.ofbiz.order.shoppingcart.CheckOutHelper class, add the
following code at the beginning of the calcAndAddTax(GenericValue
shipAddress) method:


if (shipAddress == null) {
     return;
}

It should work for you, but I'd like to hear comments from others to see
if this patch can go into the SVN.
