well, it's amazing that you all have done as well as you have! It's hard to remember every little detail and this program is packed with detail...
I have gone back in and selected a different shipping method as you say and also went into the individual products and changed the dimensions to 0 0 0 so as not to interfere at checkout. Under "How is this product kit handled by the cart?" I have selected "As individual products. Customers may add or remove kit components at will." and then selected the products that I would like included in this kit. When I go to Preview, I am now getting this error:
warning: call_user_func_array(): First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'uc_product_kit_add_to_cart_form_' was given in /hsphere/local/home3/cmrsf1/mysite.com/drupal/includes/form.inc on line 218.

Underneath the text I have added in Description, there are fields for
List Price: $0.00
Price: $0.00
Weight: lb.
x
as well as a field for the price over in the top right hand corner. I didn't expect this as I expected that the customer would get a drop down list or list of links to the individual products to select from.

This looks like the solution I was looking for, I just need to figure out how to make it work, if possible.

I am using 5.x-1.0-beta6. Is the most current one for Drupal 5.7? I think it is but I see that some people are using a version called Bazzar. Any advantages to that or am I best off with what I have?

Thanks!
