    For easy populate to work correctly, you have to set up
    categories yourself, via admin, before using EP

    I understand that part....I do not know how to break down the fields by category....that's why I listed the first record in the datafeed. For example, which field is the brand...which field is the product description etc.... The way that the datafeed file is structured....it has a separate field for the product name and also the product title which includes information about the product...how is this translated into zen...thanks for repsonding...

    Have you entered into your zencart
    1 category, 1 product, description, price etc
    so you can download sample file generated
    by Easy Populate?
