Hi Norman and Donna, Thanks for helping out. This is a big decision and I'm looking to get as much info to make as wise a decision as I can. @ Norman: I've did a fairly quick look at the Magento site and their version comparison table doesn't really tell me what their community version does have but rather what it doesn't in comparison with their licensed products, which isn't a viable option for this project (seems like all projects anymore are done on the cheap). Does the community version of Magento provide all the features listed at http://www.magentocommerce.com/product/features ?
@ Donna: I'll check those solutions out. I looked at the Adobe store front for this client but the fee structure wasn't very appealing to him. Godspeed! Herb Herbert M.

Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Magento is by far a more complete solution for that many items. You can get away with zen-cart or oscommerce, but you will be modifying the heck out of it to get to where magento starts. Norman O'Neil eNorm P.O.
