I have two sites, one uses vs. 5.5, the other uses 6.09.
In vs. 5.5, adding a product to several categories is very simple: hold down control and click as many different categories as appropriate.
In vs. 6.09, it is much slower as the screen must refresh each time. This might be more of a problem as I'm using SQL2005, and sometimes a refresh of any screen seems to take forever.
I have hundreds of products that should be placed in many more categories than they currently are. Could someone suggest the fastest way to do this with vs. 6.09? |

You could do an export of all your products, then do the edit in Excel or something similar, then import the products using the bulk import feature. Then I believe you need to run the CONVERTPRODUCTS.ASP file.

we've got 2 links (free/info links, not addon links) which help explain this aspect in detail (vpasp also have a link somewhere to explain it)....
1) How can I import products using multiple categories/branches?

2) Importing using tab-separated files:

something else that we did to speed up the edit-product screen was to change the cross-selling list to a hidden field, turned off cross-selling in the config options, and took out the cross-selling list-population, because once you get over about 100 products it becomes practically pointless/unusable and just slows down the loading of the screen.
we then used our own cross-selling addon to use a different potherx column to store cross-sold items, entering the ccodes into that list/field as a comma separated list:
secondary/enhanced cross-selling:
