texte = Sandy,Thanks, I took a look, and see what you needed to do with the different variations (essentially, adding a delta or change in price to the base price).But I (think) I need something simpler. At least I hope so. ;-)Basically, I would like the customer to be able to search and select items that may have one or more SKUS associated with them. The CD vs. cassette format that I mentioned, for example. The photo and product copy would be the same for both formats, and the customer simply chooses the desired format (SKU level format and price) at the product detail.tmpl level.I recall a thread from long ago where someone suggested an item db with SKU info associated with each item but I couldn't find it in the Pac Coast archives. Anyone recall that thread? Or can anyone provide some insight into alternative ways to skin this pricing cat? TIA,Dale dstokdyk@dvs.mv.com>Look at www.musicianstore.com.
