[completerookie]

the title says it, where or how can I find which products have used my associated products within my options ??

One way: File / Export, look at exported file in Excel. Check the Header:Component and Header:Permutation lines for fields that indicate an Associated Product is used. Then look in the Component and Permutation records for fields containing these entries. Products immediately above such Components and Permutations are the relevant ones.

Another way: Paste the following into a Products Full Description or Fragments Text:

!!<
<actinic:block type="EntireSectionList">
	<actinic:block type="ProductList">
		<actinic:block type="ComponentList">
			<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsUsedAssociatedProduct%22%20%2f%3e" >
				<br /><actinic:variable name="ProductName" />: <actinic:variable name="AssociatedProduct::ProductName" />
			</actinic:block>
			<actinic:block type="PermutationList">
				<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22AssociatedProduct%3a%3aProductName%22%3e%20%21%3d%20%22%22" >
					<br /><actinic:variable name="ProductName" />: <actinic:variable name="AssociatedProduct::ProductName" />
				</actinic:block>
			</actinic:block>
		</actinic:block>	
	</actinic:block>
</actinic:block>
>!!

This will list product names followed by any Associated Products they use.

thanks Norman, its the last piece of code I needed,
just makes sense to make sure that any product using an "associated product" should still have that legit connection.
I'll make a hidden page and use this inside the innerlayout to shw me the associations.

cheers
