In ref to post #819, I resolved PROBLEM #2. Found a place in phpMyAdmin that would let me search and found the 5 problem children and got rid of them by deleting.

For PROBLEM #1, I still need help. As stated before, I already had products in my database before attempting to use EP.

In admin>tools>easypopulate

when I create a "full" file of those 400+ products to download to my pc in order to edit, it is not giving the product url in the info it creates. Why not? Why is it putting all the data in one cell? What do I need to do to make EP work correctly? Is EP not able to correctly read products that were already on the database before EP was installed? Is that the problem? Do I just use the headers in that file that I created as my guide?

any help is appreciated..........
