I actually have a lot of this done already, but am a long way from finishing. To save a lot of time, I just took the original sitebuilder/storebuilder, and replaced the backend of it, so the operation is similar to what the original is. The cart was just replaced with a db that does essentially the same thing, and another db contains all the other information collected. That allowed me to use all the original products, related, sections db's etc ... etc.. When I'm done, which won't be for a while, as I have to do it in between things, I'll throw it out there for anyone that needs it. I just have to get what I have transitioned over before I can go back to work on it. With Chris making the legacy tags operational, its going to buy time for anyone using the old system, until a replacement is written. Rob
