Thanks everyone.... that work! So now it's just a matter of adding product... LOL.. I did notice that when I duplicate a product, it duplicates the photos as well... then when I changed them, it changed the 'host' item's images too... figured all that out and now I'm on a roll.

Nothing like knowing nothing then jumping right in with both feet... this programming stuff (the real understanding of it) is way beyond my attention span... LOL

thanks again.
