XML and FTP should look different. Can you post a line or two from it? Is the CSV being updated (with new products and product changes)? Is there any confidential data in it? Like costs, profits, etc? Or is it just selling prices and product details? Can you see the CSV if you reach it with a browser? If it is regular CSV file, and it is in the public area of the site, you should be able to reach it via a browser. The way that the information SHOULD be supplied to you, is via a page containing XML - you write a program to read the page, and add the data from it to your page. I don't know why he is giving you CSV and FTP. -- Pete Clark Hot Costa - Local Spain http://www.hotcosta .com See the Web's breaking stories, chosen by people like you. Check out Yahoo!
