Burt, yes that seems straightforward - something like an extra field in Linda's attribute contrib. Less hassle than stock buttons! But its #3 that gives me the problems. I don't understand how the stock updating works. I've already got through several pounds of chocolate trying to figure it out, so any pointers would be very much appreciated. :lol: 

freezehell, I don't think i'm explaining the problem very well?
Say I have a product in size small, med & large. Stock is small 3, med 2, large 0(ie out of stock) Customer want to buy 1 small - it won't checkout & loops back to the basket.
But with stock as small 3, med 2, large 1; checkout works fine - customer can buy 1 small.
The stock level check works fine up to that point - large is not shown as an option in the product info, & customers cannot add more of a size to the basket than are available, but it will not checkout if one of the attributes is out of stock, even though it is not the one the customer wants to buy. Is that any better explained?
