Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions - 
Matt I looked at those links to forum threads, read all the posts - I tried out the code of Mouflon's (for adding 'unit' as a property - except I changed the name to down_quality which is a field in my database that I want) but I couldn't get it to work - it wasn't getting the text out of the database - could have been something to do with the fact that it was an old version of osCommerce it was written for.

Lynda - I looked at the contributions, I tried to follow the instructions in EZ NEW FIELDSv1.0 but couldn't get it to work (it was trying to add an extra retail price field). I couldn't see any other contributions relating to adding new fields. Do you know the name of one, or has one not been written for adding generic product fields?

I have added the new fields I want to the database (products table) no problem (phpMyAdmin) but can't get data in and out of them. 

Do you, or does anyone know the name of a contribution / tutorial to add new product properties? I am new to php and osCommerce, I don't have the knowledge to do it without guidance!!

thanks for your help,
Louise
