two things that caused it are:
1) it does not like product names to be likt folows:
PPP-I-M-14.95-NO-TAX
PPP-I-M-14.95-TAX
maybe it compares first few characters and not all of them.
2) When I entered the information I went to a full list of products and I
didnt add that product to the end of the list but I put that right into
that list in the middle of it. Maybe this confused the program...
