Hi,
Sorry my mistake, thought the site was yours
I've downloaded Zen cart the other day however I've played around with it a bit more today & it looks like this will work for now, I would still like to build my own as shown in the Killer videos but I have the XML problem to overcome. For now your advise has been taken on board but unlike you I like the idea of loading everything by mysql and playing with the design rather than using the admin panel.
