Items can have multiple numbers or other identifying factors. If all I had was 12 items I would definitely setup my catalog differently. I must agree with ken though, all items should have a unique sku. If you need a non unique number then create one. Consider it a style number or group number and use that to build your catalog. Then when they select a particular size from your catalog page, they will load in that item by its sku.Robert Minor__________________________________________________________CyberMill Website Designers & Publishers8616 Joseph AveSt. Louis, MO 63144voice 314-962-4024email: webmaster@cybermill.comhttp://www.cybermill.com/__________________________________________________________We are not responsible for any misspelling or misinformationplease check with your internet provider for defects.
