RE: Another shipping problem - multiple product database files

There are so many things that could be going wrong on both the database
side and the shipping side that you need to narrow it down to specifically
where it stops working.

I would recommend going back to the original single products.asc file and
verifying that it works. Then splitting it in half; setting "ProductFiles
products products2"; verifying that that works; etc.
