    Default Using Access instead of MySQL

    I used to use Microsoft Access and not MySQL, all my products are listed on Access, now is it possible for Zen Cart to work with access or is there a way to import the file?

    You'll need to import them.

    Reason being that MySQL is so much more powerful than access, and of course the fact that Zen Cart is written to work with MySQL.

    Now there is a way to import the products, and I feel the easiest way is with easypopuloate, www.easypopulate.com

    That way you can export your access db to excel and then using easypopulate you will be able to figure out how to arrange the data to go into the Zen Carts db.

    That kink gets redirected, to some other shop maker.

    Look for posts by member Langer - he maintains easypopulate on his own site, and has a link in his sig.

    Hi,

    The correct link is

    http://www.modhole.com/modhole/index.php

    Easy Populate is by far (imho) the most useful mod out there.
