Trying to upload a very simple file which contains one product which should be located in an existing category.
Firstly the data tool complains about the xslx file so I attempted the upload with a CSV version instead.
Then the tool complained saying that my import file is not compatiable with the version of the database. I am using the latest version of the software, V2.0001 with the tool.
Does anyone have any ideas about how I may resolve this issue?

We've been totally rebuilding the DT for 2.0; if you can PM me with your email address I can send you an alpha version.
As well as code changes to handle 2.0 changes, we've also overhauled the interface so it runs largely in a resizable window. We also save connections in a connections manager, so you don't have to rekey data if running in multiple times, and the interface has been simplified.

Hi Paul
Did anyone get the chance to look at the alpha version of the data tool yet? Your suggestion re the 1.4 database is a non starter for me as I only have a v2 environment
I am well versed with SQL so if there is a list of tables that I need to make sure are populated could you let me know as I can either use BCP or 2008 DTS equiv to get the data in - just need to know what tables need to be populated for a complete product to be valid on the site
Thanks

Getting data on manually would be a very complex task - product info for example is spread over multiple tables, because the language specific text parts are in the language elements table while the product stubs are in the products table - then there are versions, and product-category links, cat-cat links and so on.
The 1.4 db setup script would create a 1.4 db you can run data into that with the older data tool, then run the upgrade process scripts. Alternatively you could download an older CactuShop access db (from www.cactushop.com), run your data into that with the older data tool, and then use the new Kartris data tool to copy data from that to your SQL db (I've used the CactuShop import part of it so pretty sure that part is working).
We're working on the v2 db but it's going to take some time to get this all done and tested.

I'm compiling a version now... need to do a few basic tests, but if it runs ok should have a zip in next 2-3 hours.
