PRB:"Index out of range" Error While Using Store Builder Wizard

• Microsoft Commerce Server, version 2.0
• Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Commerce Server 2.0 Store Builder Wizard to add custom fields to the product table, you may receive the following error message during step 6 of building a new store:

   request object error "ASP 0105" index out of range.
   /mscs_storebuilderwizard/product_update.asp, line 43
   an array index is out of range.

CAUSE

The problem occurs because of a change in behavior between Internet Explorer (IE) 3.x and IE 4.0. Unlike IE 3.x, IE 4.0 does not post a list item when it is not selected, but the product_update.asp always references the Item(1) of the "field_add_std" field.

WORKAROUND

To work around the problem, use either of the following methods:

• Use an earlier version of IE. You can avoid this problem by using IE 3.02 to run the Store Builder Wizard.

  -or-

• If you prefer to use IE 4.0, simply highlight one of the standard fields (for example, manufacturer, color, size, and so forth). Add one or more custom fields to the product table. Note that you do not have to actually add any standard fields to the table; just select one and then add the custom fields to avoid the problem.
