OK, now we are getting somewhere. I have version EP 1.2.5.4. Would changing to 1.2.5.5 make a difference? I do use Excel to create my sheets and then I save them as .txt when I am done. Is it possible to put all of sheets through something like Emerald Editor and they would be fine after that? I use Excel because of the ability to combine columns with the formulas that Excel has. Does Open Office have the same thing? I knew what the EOR was for, but Elle hadn't mentioned it in her post about how she uploads her files, so I wondered if maybe I shouldn't have it in there.

I just emptied my database and started over again. I started uploading and got 7 relatively small files uploaded just fine. The EP upload screen gave me upload results, with the "New Products Uploaded" and all of the model numbers in blue, for all 7 of those files. Now on the 8th file, which is much larger than any of the others, it just gave me the timeout screen, or whatever that white screen is called, that you get when something isn't right. I checked back into the store and all of the baseball cards from that file seem to have uploaded correctly, but I can't be sure. My biggest concern is when I try to upload any file after this screen has come up, I never get the Upload Results screen again. This is making me think that something is always going to be wrong from this point forward, unless something is changed.

I just tried the 9th file upload and this is the error message that it gave me:

This webpage is not available.

The webpage at http://benhambaseballcards.com/shop/...te.php?split=0 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

More information on this error
Below is the original error message

Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): Unknown error.

This is similar to, or the same as, the screen for the 8th file. No idea what it means, but I bet someone on here does know, and it may be a key to getting me in the right direction. All of the items in the 8th and 9th files are in the store and able to be purchased. Remember, this is the first upload for each of my first 9 files. I have not tried to upload any updates to any of these model numbers, or any more files than these 9. I am leaving my store just like it is until I hear back from someone on here. Should I limit each of my files to a certain number of entries? Some baseball card sets have 1,000 different cards for that set. It would be very difficult for me to find and edit larger set files that have been divided into pieces. The goal for my store is to, eventually, have all 300,000 cards that I own in stock, with an endless amount of additional cards in the future.

All of my sets of baseball cards are the top categories in my store. It has filled the space below my logo with links to all of these categories as well as the normal links in the Categories box on the left side of every page. I am sure there is a way to get rid of the links at the top of the screen, but I am really much more concerned about being able to update my products. There are many, many more sets that have to go in as well. This is the only way that I could easily delete each set of cards when I get new cards for that set, and have to change my quantities. I just go into the database and delete that set, and all of the products for that set, and then re-upload the same file that now has new quantities in it. Putting all of these at the top level is the easiest way I could figure out avoiding linked products in my uploads.

Maybe this will provide a little more info to anyone that is checking this out. I am glad that I started over again and monitored what each file was doing. That way I could give you folks a good idea of what I was seeing.

After previewing this post, I noticed that the Error message above has the URL hyperlinked. I am not sure if clicking on that will be better than my store link or not. I will be watching closely for any replies this thread, now that I have gotten to a point, in which, I don't want to do anything until I know it is OK to do so.

Thanks for trying to figure out what may be the issue.
