Hi Ted,
yes, I did sync the images and I did run the query, the result you are seeing in my last post is the result of adding a product from the front end where members would be submitting Products. I changed nothing after running the query other than submitting a new Product on the front end to see what happened, and the results I posted was what happened.

Perhaps this is a problem specifically with using Xampp on localhost, I don't know, windows is notorious for being riddled with bugs, we may be looking at a conflict that windows is to blame for. I don't know what else to tell you Ted, the process I went through has been laid out as acted upon, I have absolutely no idea why the results are as they are.

I could shut down my real site for an hour or so, back up everything and run the upgrade there for the Beta and see what happens!
