[ic] Re: Having trouble with product options

An update:  I have fixed the error below;  on line 346 of 
/usr/lib/interchange/code/UI_Tag/import_fields.coretag, change

$k = $db->set_row($k);

to

$k = $db->set_row($k, @f);

The upload now works and the data shows up nicely in the options table. 
  But it's still not showing up on the product page, and data entered 
via the GUI does.  I assume there is some step that's not happening 
after the upload completes.

Any hints on where this is going wrong?  I don't work much in Perl and 
tracing this down already has my eyes crossed;  by the time I figure 
out the difference between the two paths I'll need glasses! :)

thanks,

janine
