EP is very fussy, unfortunately, and requires the TXT file to be, quite literally, perfect and free from formatting errors. If PART of an upload is succeeding, then the software is working. The breakdown then HAS to be in the TXT file (note, I do not say "spreadsheet" as a TXT file is NOT a spreadsheet!).

If EP is faulty (usually because of a faulty FTP upload of the module) then it will not even load one record...


I also recommend this method... Files can be corrupted using the Upload/Insert function.



It IS possible to ADD these fields to ver 1.2.5.4 (I have done it) and LankeeYankee put up a tutorial somewhere on the forum on how to do it.
Easy Populate is the greatest software ever. When I tested the Free version (2+ years ago) it was a mess especially if you have multiple products with same model number such as in our business.
I happen to have been using the advanced for a few years, when Langer was still answering emails and he helped iron out some wrinkles now everything is fine and dandy it is such a great tool to export Google Base for larger store such as mine as every other tool I ran into will time out even though my server is setup to handle huge files. Also it is very easy to add new database fields to import or export.

I think the forum will benefit a lot if the EPA is made available through the Add ons section even though it is not Free it covers a lot of things that current Free EP doesn't do.
