Johnny,

The first thing I see is it appears that you used MS Word to create your table. Word adds way too much html code. Hence the junk in your desc.

Find a simple html editor. I use CoffeeCup. I think there is a trial version, but it's pretty cheap to buy. There are probably a few decent free ones. When you paste the code in description, make sure you are not in html editor mode in ZC.

I think your pasted link did not work because you are using the url add-on.

To prevent override of exiting descriptions will require code change. Looking at my prior suggestion, I realize it's even easier than that.

Find the UPDATE statement code around line 2260. Remove the section "products_description='" . zen_db_input $v_products_description".

Look very carefully at the code and remove everything about the description but not the needed delimiters for the rest of the statement.

This change will prevent ANY updates to description but will not affect the INSERT on new items.

I'm sorry but I don't have time now or I'd give you the complete change. If you can't get it, post back and I'll be glad to figure it out later.

Jeff
