VP-ASP to ZenCart - Help!!

Hello,

A friend of mine is using http://www.vpasp.com as his current cart solution but his hosts-stroke-designers-stroke-rip off merchants are telling him he has to pay and upwards of £8000 to upgrade his cart.

Now hearing this and knowing that I've done some stuff with Zencart he's asked me if I could save his preverbial bacon and work some magic.

I have never worked with asp or access databases so I'm completely lost and I've looked through these forums and couldn't see anything (overtly) that could help so I turn now and throw myself at your mercy.

Initially I thought I could just take his existing cart and manually add the products to a new Zencart install, but having just looked at the access database I don't think that's gonna happen. He has over 3000 'features' (what vp-asp seems to call attributes) which means I'd have to implement that many attributes then apply them to however many hundred products he has. This is where I implore your help!

Is there a relativly easy way that I can take the access database that has already been populated with products, their attributes, and prices and slot it into a Zencart installation? Bearing in mind that I'm a complete and utter novice with php/mysql so may need baby steps?

Thank you ever so much in advance!

You could add products via EasyPopulate Mod
Free version from http://modhole.com
OR Paid version from

I did see that after I posted this question but having never used it and not being very clever with this sort of stuff I'm kinda at a loss on how to use it...

Am I to assume that I take the 'features' table of the .mdb and paste them into the 'attribute' colum of the Eazypopulate mod?

Not used this mod for some time.. however, there is a support thread here at
zencart forums, plus support desk and forum at zencartbuilder.com
