EP4 is a database tool and does not transfer the actual image file but allows identification of the file path/name...

There is a version 4.0.31 that allows transfer by products_id so a model# is no longer required, but does still serve a purpose.
Thanks MC - what about the issue of out of stock items now showing in all categories which wasn't the case prior to doing the category linking? ... how do I correct this?

cheers,
Mike
