We have no interest in using shipping by weight for this particular store, but this is a required field in the product setup. How can this be changed? So they don't have to enter anything in?

Same with Quantity on Hand...

Lots of drop shipping with this setup... quantity is irrelevant.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thank you so much.

Shipping can be configured not to use weight and if you dont check manage inventory in the settings then qty on hand is not decremented after checkout but the Quantity on Hand and weight are still required fields that need to be entered for a product.

Is there any way to change a value somewhere in the database tables? From True to Valse, etc. ? If you're dealing with a product that's unique in weight and never plan on using it, it seems rather nervy to be forced to put a weight in.

I ask this because I can do an import and the products are added without that information.

Is there a trick anywhere that's not as "professional" to tweak?

In the addproduct.ascx you can delete or comment the required field validator for the weight field but this wasnt been tested so proceed at your own risk.

A critical error has occurred.
Input string was not in a correct format.

That's what I got.. . it redirected to the home page and gave me that. Bummer.

Here's the code.

<tr align="left">
<td valign="top" class="SmithProdText">Weight (Ounces): <span class="SmithRequiredText">*</span></td>
<td valign="top">
<asp:TextBox ID="txtWeight" runat="server" MaxLength="7" Width="263px"></asp:TextBox>


</td>
</tr>

Go ahead and restore the required field validator it looks like you cant remove it and weight is required on that screen.
