The way VPCart handles categories
and subcategories has been completely changed since the version you are using
was released.
The VPCart 9.00 method for handling
categories eliminates the need for the subcategories table, subcatlevel3,
subcatlevel4, subcatlevel5 and prodsubcategories tables. The only two tables
used are categories table and the prodcategories table.
To convert
your categories:
1. Open your browser.
2. Enter the URL of your new VPCart 9.00 folder followed by “convertcategories.asp.” For example, http://www.vpasp.com/vpasp/admin/convertcategories.asp, where www.vpasp.com is your website address and vpasp is the folder where you installed your new copy of VPCart. Admin is the folder where the convertcategories.asp file is located.
3. Click the “Convert” button.
