My only advice for working with AC is to run away, terribly fast. It is a total piece. I know you're looking for advice, so I will give you some. Chalk up what you've spent on it as a loss and ditch it immediately. If you really want a CF-based off-the-shelf packaged cart application, look into Cartweaver or CFWebstore... Getting out of bed with AC now is going to save you more money and frustration in the long run than it's going to cost you to write it off and go with something worth using.
This is that one product that was SO BAD that I promised not only never to work with it again, but to make sure that every time I heard someone talk about it I would make absolutely sure that they knew how low my opinions of the software and the company actually are. The single year-long project I was on working with AC was a complete nightmare filled with hours of talking to the least helpful and least professional support personnel with whom I've ever had the bad fortune to speak. Of course, that's just my opinion... ***************** Ken Ferguson 214.636.6126 ***************** Eric Roberts wrote: > Anyone here ever customize an Able Commerce shopping cart?
