Is it possible to provide a direct link to a sub product from the storefront? I'm aware of how viewPrd.asp works to display parent products, but I would like to display sub products which obviously have options associated with them. I see that the sub products have their own product id within the products database but I'm not sure how I can directly display them...or if it's even possible.

Thanks

I cannot think of a way to make that happen. You link the parent product, and the subproducts simply serve to generate options such as color/size.

Thank you Greg. That's what I thought but I was hoping maybe there was a way that I just couldn't see.

I was able to accomplish what I was actually hoping to accomplish which was displaying the product with certain options already selected. I noticed the "wish list" links displayed as

viewPrd.asp?idproduct=XX&SubPrd=XXX

In my case this allowed me to display a cloth vest (parent product) with size and color options (sub product) already selected from the drop down lists. From there I just need to generate my links accordingly.
