    database error Problems following data import from OScommerce

    I have attempted to import data manually from an os commerce db into a zen cart db. Everything appeared to have gone well, imported customers, orders, products etc.
    However, I now get the message that there is a product listed in the top level and I cannot add more categories. I have seen the forum entries on this. My problem is that the product doesn't show up in the admin under categories so I dont know which product it is or how to delete it.

    If any one has any sensible suggestions this would be much appreciated

    Thanks

    That means that when you imported your data, you put records into the products_to_categories table but left the categories_id set to 0. You'll need to find those records and set the correct categories_id.

    Thanks for the super fast response. Still getting to grips with sql and phpadmin.

    Does that mean manually changing the categories id? Is that in the products_to_categories table or somewhere else?

    Cheers
