   I have been testing adding images... and then assigining them to items..

First off... do we have to create three sized images... one for each type? THumbnail etc...

Or can we use one image and it will autosize.

When i did add the image that i was testing... i added it several times and it was not in list... then it was after a few trys... what could that be?

Thanks again to all those that help... especially Hamish :)

	ProductCart has a built in Upload and resize function but this only works if your hosting provider has the correct Upload/Resize component on the server. If its not there the option to do this does not show in your control panel and you have to do it all manually for each size. Nigel

	See : http://www.earlyimpact.com/productcart/system_req.asp#2 - The WIKI is your friend :-) - and then ask you hosting company.

	You need www.aspjpeg.com and www.aspupload.com installed on your web server if those are not present. Or host with someone familiar with PC and who already invested in those server components.

	specifically it is this: Upload & Resize Image Feature ProductCart allows you to upload images to your store from within the Control Panel. There are two utilities in ProductCart that allow you to do so: (1) a simple upload utility (the images are uploaded ‘as is' to the Web server), and (2) an Upload & Resize utility which allows you to dynamically create 3 images from a source image file that is uploaded to the server (thumbnail, standard, and detail image). The Upload & Resize utility provides great time savings when adding products and categories to your store. However, in order to use this feature your Web server needs one of the following combinations of 3rd-party components installed on the server: ASPJpeg 1.1 or higher and ASPUpload 3.0 or higher installed. Both server components are published by Persists Software. This configuration allows you to upload & resize both Jpeg and Gif files. SAFileUp and ASPImage, where SAFileUp is a server component published by Software Artisans and AspImage is published by Server Objects. This configuration allows you to upload & resize both Jpeg images, but not Gif files. If either of these server components are not detected, ProductCart automatically hides any link to using the Upload & Resize utility, and instead shows the standard image upload feature. These server components are rather popular, so there is a good chance that your Web hosting company has installed it on its servers. Enquire with your hosting company to confirm their presence. Please note that Early Impact does not provide support on issues related specifically to the Upload & Resize components. If there are problems with this functionality, you will need to contact your hosting provider.
