Thank you for the quick response. We are using the improved version and i have checked with the hosting and we have no issues from there end. The same server hosts another ecommerce site and their Google Base feed is working perfectly well, we are using the improved version.
When we first added the feature the feed worked fine but was not uploading all products. We then checked the feed and removed all the invalid characters from teh products description and names, since then it has not been working.
I hope this information give more of an insight to the problem?

Not sure why you say it's stopped altogether. The feed is working just fine, the problem is that you have special characters that need removing from all product titles and descriptions. For example this one
http://www.products999.com/index.php?ro ... uct_id=446
There are special characters in the description which are causing the issue. You can check your feed by loading it in IE8. It will tell you which line is giving the error if you click on more information

I have fixed all issues regarding special characters in the feed. The upload is scheduled for midnight everyday, so i hope it works. Is there anyway i can ask the system to try the upload now?
I copy and pasted the content from the feed into notepad and saved it as feed.txt. When i did a manuel upload, i recieved an email saying that o products were inserted and to find out more to log in. I then find out that the feed was disapproved.
Anything that you can suggest?

Right I get it now. It doesn't offer the option - you have to look for it. If anyone else reading this is as slow as me it's the 'Edit' link next to the name of your file.
I've set it to upload on the next hour so hopefully all will be well
Thank you for this mod and especially for your super-speedy response to requests for help

Any other ideas? Is it something wrong in line 29 & column 65? And if so how could I fix that?
Thanks
