Thanks Absolute - Okay - I get it, that was pretty basic, thought there was something more to it. But this was not really my issue. I do appreciate the added explanation.

More importantly, if my steps are correct in my post, what the heck and I doing wrong?

My assumption or interpretation of the instructions

1) Back up
2) place unzipped files into the zen cart main directory. I am just dragging the includes folder into the main directory. (files are there)
3)Move the 2 php files from the newly created YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to the classic folder that is under the templates folder
4)Go to the store side of the site and click into a product.
5)log into the admin side and check to see if "Grid" is in the Options Type drop down.
I am familiar to ftp and mods, some basic coding and.... I've been making mods before the old DBman product successfully. But, I'm just having a killer of a time getting this module to work. I swear I will make a donation if I can get this going and create a visual step-step instruction set for the next person having issues. I know I'm just missing something basic.
