Thankyou, Ashley <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Try downloading and installing the easy populate contribution. It will let you turn your excel spreadsheet into a file you can upload into your catalog area. I got it working in only a few attempts - so it is pretty easy to use. Hope that helps Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 by default, images are located in the imaged directory. if you want to change that, (stilll has to be in images) you can add a directory name/image name to your easypopulate text file and then it will create the links to there, however you still have to manually create the directory and upload the images.

The file needs to be of the type Text Tab delimited rather than called that, is that what you meant? if I recall correctly, Easy Populate doesn't take Excel files, you need to save them as text first. Hope you make a breakthrough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
