Re: [mv] Defining Database Fields

["Param Singh" <param@home.com>]

******    message to minivend-users from "Param Singh" <param@home.com>     ******

I usually execute the reconfig script that is in the catalog directory ever
time I make this kind of a change to the products.asc.  This causes the
changes to be read into the database. Earlier I used to use Minimate to do
this.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Param
