Hi Phil,
Thanks for the info, I have been through all that, but I still can't
tell interchange that my other database tabe is a products file too!
I can search this other table with forms, and results style pages no
problem (not a fly page) but I can't call the products in my "other"
table like this:
www.mydom.dom/cgi/interch/0002.html. I always get "page not found" and
no errors in the catalog, or interchange error log.
Also, I need to prefix in the "sku" of the products in this other
database. Somthing like "otherdb_" so that the sku for this other
products database looks like this "otherdb_00001" but I can't see were
there is documentation about that ether.
Thanks
Rick
