further to this, (thinking aloud - but very open to comment!!) i have now discovered that i need to have the stock_level field relating to the product_options table - as opposed to the product table eg. small-red shirts out of stock but medium-red and large-red in stock.
also, i am going to use a stock_reorder field (editable) which will alert the site admin when stock levels are getting low for a particular product - seems better than waiting till they are nill? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:302291 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
