OK I found that but it doesnt say what to change it to "kgs" ? or "grams"

And I have yet to find how to actually find the code to make the change but I am assuming thats in another thread also.

Absolute newby started yesterday.

Use any of the two. Zencart does not care if it says 'grams' or 'kgs' or 'lbs', it only uses the actual values (numbers) for calculations.

Bear in mind though that, if you use 'kgs' then you need to enter the individual product weights as 0.xx (eg 0.45 is displayed as 0.45 kgs) whereas for 'grams' you would enter weights as xxx (eg 450 is displayed as 450 grams)
