Sorry had to get a few hours sleep been up all night with this.

I open the microsof excel file and from with the microsoft excel from
I am using text (tab deliminted) to convert the file. I have EOREOR at the end of each row.


I also will try what you stated, but I thought this was correct.

May I suggest that you try Apsona ShopAdmin? It's a free tool, and IMHO it makes imports and updates much easier than Easy Populate.

Hope this helps.

Schoolboy before I try something different, I would like to see if I can get EP to work. Did the information I posted help you to understand what I possibly am doing wrong?

Thank you

In your first post:

Can someone explain what I am doing wrong

We don't actually know what you are doing, so please provide a detailed, understandable and cohesive explanation of what you are doing - STEP BY STEP - in your efforts to insert data via EP.

I ftp the companies excel spreadsheet to my computer. I change the headings to be v_products_model, etc., I delete any columns not needed, I add columns needed like v_date_avail, v_manufacturers, etc. The I save the file as a text - tab delimited. I logon to my host and upload the file via eps in the top upload right beside insert into database. Then I do a
Create Complete tab-delimited .txt file in temp dir (Attributes Not Included)

When I view this file nothing but the header is included in the file.

Read my WIKI to see what columns are MANDATORY

I logon to my host and upload the file via eps in the top upload right beside insert into database.

THE NEXT STEP AT THIS POINT is to clikc the button that says: "Insert into db"

Then I do a
Create Complete tab-delimited .txt file in temp dir (Attributes Not Included)

This step is when you want to do a DUMP of your existing products. This has nothing to do with ADDING PRODUCTS... it is the link you click when you want to get a full txt file of products that are ALREADY in the database.

When I view this file nothing but the header is included in the file.

I got the header information from reading your documentation. I must not be understanding the header information correctly.
