Thanks Kuroi.....the products show up in the admin fine, and if you choose "All Products" in the store you can see the number of products, so it is all there....just cannot see the actual products...VERY frustrating.....I have done 3 websites so far and have never had this problem and have wasted all afternoon trying to get it....
I will try what you have noted below......I will post back either way!
Thanks so much!
