In other words it is best to set up 26,460 articles? Both quantity and 
paper style affect price. Each article contains a style,a paper stock 
(color variant field) and a quantity (gradings variant field). In other 
words one article for each combination.

Artice 1 = CD Label
            Yellow Permanent
            Quantity 100
            Price 10.00

Article 2 = CD Label
             Yellow Permanent
             Quantity 250
             Price 17.00

Article 3 = CD Label
             Yellow Permanent
             Quantity 500
             Price 25.00

and on and on it goes. 26,460 Articles x 5 Minutes per Article = 132,300 
Minutes / 60 Minutes = 2,205 Hours. Am I missing something here? Of 
course it won't take 5 minutes for all the articles, but you figure in 
corrections and on and on it goes.

Best regards,
Bill
