It is NOT a kludge, it is the proper way to do things. Go into any retail store and look at any two items that are identical except for size or color and you will clearly see two different SKU's.Size and color are defining factors that make items different, so you should have a different SKU for every item that has a different size or color from another item ...Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions http://www.hui.net/dna/webdna.html Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
