All is good so far but I've come across an issue that I'm sure is user error but I could do with some advice.
My products are clothes so I want to upload size and colour options for each product.
....
but the colours showed just fine on the product page, but when I imported the Sizes file all the size information was added to the Colour information in the same dropdown box.

I had not entered anything regarding options via the Zen Cart config and was expecting EP to do all this for me.
So firstly, what have I done wrong to cause this error and secondly how can I delete all the imported options data and start again?

Thanks in advance.
Hi Tedm!

You don't have to use two files to add multiple attributes to your products! These can be done one after the other for each model number.

As for figuring out what is wrong with your data files, it would be better if you ATTACHED a portion of each file so that I can see the structure.

ALSO >>> you DO NOT need EOREOR with EP4!

Did you install the MySQL Backup Mod? It is best practice to install this and make a backup before each import so you can roll the databases back if you encounter an error. Also... It is best practice to first work with a FEW records at a time, then once you are confident, the entire database.
Did you carefully read the README.txt file? I explain the attribute import in some detail there.
