Re: [mv] Defining Database Fields

John,

I changed the fields in my products.asc and didn't change anything anywhere
else that I can recall.  Except, of course, any fields in tags on pages.  If
you forgot to change these then any change you made in the database wouldn't
show up.

Although when you enter products you don't need to restart the Minivend
server, you might need to when changing a field.  When in doubt I always
restart the server.

I know these are simple little suggestions but if you can start eliminating
things then you've more of a chance at solving the problem.  If it's not any
one of the things I mentioned and no one else responds write again. :)

Good luck,

Julie
