No, your existing saved listings in Auctiva stay as they are. The changes to the template are seen the next time you create a listing from that template.

Well thats not good. I would then suggest a new feature that would allow for a "replace". Might not be so easy programming wise that is. Dunno. Logic would say that "listing data" should be completely seperate from a template in say a database. Then the data is injected from the database to the listing prior to listing it. The template name (ie: file) is also stored in the db record. This is just basic (basic) CMS like stuff. The entire idea behind seperating "content" from "template" is so anytime one wishes one can change large (or small) amounts of information be that presentation, additional stuff like "We got a sale!" graphic etc. and have it applied across the places we like it.
If auctiva doesnt allow for this it should. Its looking more and more like I may have to code up a visual basic application to handle this stuff which I really have better things to do.
