Also, just so we are clear on how I am doing this. I am doing my edits the same way someone would add new products. At the bottom (end) of the spreadsheet, I add the product information as if it were a new product. From my understanding, it should just overwrite whatever information has been changed. It seems to work fine, since it edits the quantity and doesn't create a doubled product. BUT it deletes the product name.

Now .... when I specifically go to a current item .... if I merely change the qty and import, everything is fine. Qty gets updated and everything is in tact. The filename only gets wiped when the method is like I'm adding a new product.

This is a process different than tested... Seems that if the model# is known, it could be just as easily searched for as compared to retyped, unless I am missing something... Will still look at the process to see why "adding" the product anew in the list has a different affect than modifying the item in the list. Would almost suggest in this scenario that all other line records be removed from the list other than the one instance of the model#(s) being revised.

For further clarification when stating:

the term filename refers to the product name correct? And that is the only data that the code removes or unexpectedly modifies in this scenario?

Yes, it would be error-free doing it by search and edit method. The reason I am doing it this way is because I am trying to sync my quantities with those of a dropshipper. I would have to manually search for every product to edit, which would take hours. But this way, I can simply import all the data within a few minutes. Even products I don't carry can be imported without sorting, since EP will simply ignore it with: "SKIPPED! - Model: CGG3333333333 - No category provided for this new product"

Since there is no dropshipper module that I can find, this is the easiest and fastest method I currently see.

Yes, I'm sorry. I was typing faster than I was thinking. I meant to say the product name; and only the product name.

No problem, just double checking...

So back to my earlier suggestion, how do things work if the file is "blank" of products listed and just the dropshipper's data populates it? (Headings still in place and assuming that the dropshipper's data has the model listed once only. If listed more than once, could setup a quick calc column to show a duplicate and then delete the desired duplicate before saving for uploading.)

Ahhhhhh, I was able to try it just now. I did everything exactly the same, but then I deleted ALL my products. I imported just 1 line of data. Everything seems good! The item name is fine, and all other data seems intact.

I will keep testing it, but this method seems to work. Thank you MC.
