texte = John,My client provided a list of products/SKUs where some of products haveoptions (size/color) and some don't. Here's the strategy I've taken thus farto set this up:1. I have a store.db database containing all the products listed with aPRODUCTID, TITLE, DESCRIPTION, CATEGORY, PRICE, SIZES, COLORS, etc.2. I also have a store_options.db database containing PRODUCTID, SKU, TYPEOPTION, PRICE, ORDER, etc.3. When adding products without any options, the client will input all theinformation as normal, and the PRODUCTID will serve as the SKU.4. When adding products with options, the client will input all the generalinformation about the product then add size/color options with theirrespective SKUs.Here's a couple of abbreviated examples:*** SKU list from client ***SKU Size Color Description-----------------------------------------743341 M Black Men's Polo Shirt943340 L Black Men's Polo Shirt543342 XL Black Men's Polo Shirt343343 XXL Black Men's Polo Shirt843345 M Navy Men's Polo Shirt143344 L Navy Men's Polo Shirt643346 XL Navy Men's Polo Shirt443347 XXL Navy Men's Polo Shirt*** Store.db ***ProductID Title Price Sizes Colors-----------------------------------------------------------84458 Leather Purse 79.95 F F43340 Men's Polo Shirt 29.95 T T*** Store_options.db ***ProductID SKU Size Color Price Order-----------------------------------------------------------------43340 743341 M Black 29.95 143340 743340 L Black 29.95 243340 743342 XL Black 31.95 343340 743343 XXL Black 33.95 4I want to list the sizes and colors in separate pulldown menus:Select a size...----------------MLXLXXLSelect a color...-----------------BlackNavy...then check the database to see which SKU fits the size/color combinationselected by the customer and add it to the cart.On 9/17/02 1:03 AM, John Hill
