[SOLVED] 'Error - there was an error. Please contact support'

[David]

I have been using quickupdate 4.0 and all had been going well.

Tonight I have been entering new products by duplicating an existing template product (a method I have used many times to create products quickly with generic attributes). As I was duplicating these products I did notice that the item count at the bottom wasn't increasing - also the item id's included an alphanumeric character whereas all my existing products were sequential numbers; I didn't think anything of it and carried on creating around 90 products.

When I clicked 'update' it simply said:-

'Error - there was an error. Please contact support'

All the products I had added had vanished!

I have tried adding new products with the same method and keep experiencing the same problem - the update works if I simply amend existing products but if I duplicate any products it applies a weird product id (such as A1, A2 etc..) and does not add it to the total item count.

I have tried activating the new product, assigning to different categories and changin many other attributes but just cannot get it to work. Please help
