Thanks Steven,
I worked that one out when looking at converting files to use with another package. It will only import new items so it is one way of doing it, but not exactly the easiest.
I have a spreadsheet that I'd output as a back-up and the "easiest" way of doing this, but it would still be nice to do it within the software.
One issue I found when doing it this way is that my spacing doesn't work. I use the product description on the Details tab for most items but they just come in as a continuous line of text (wrapped of course) but not spaced on different lines. This means that I need to go into the item anyway to correct this.
Also, where possible, I like to be able to add an image into it (this can't be done in the other packages I've seen). This can only be done after the item is saved so I'd need to go into the item anyway to be able to do this. This is another issue as even on a new item, I have to save it, which then kicks me out of the item, then go back into it to add the image. Very cumbersome and time-consuming when there's a whole new range of products.
