Abandoned InterAkt customer looking for InterAkt staff

Question

Hi
Just back from the deserted interAkt forums where I posted but no echo.
It would be great if some of the staff in the discontinued InterAkt products can support me over here.
Somehow,I didnt pay attention during the upgrade time to DDT,then I tried since mid november to no avail.
I own MX Kommerce(includes MX collection) that is upgraded by adobe to ADDT,but now am left in the wind,no support,no upgrade.
Since interAkt customers still access their accounts and can download their discontinued products,they also have rightful access to upgrade as the product changed ownership(which is not our fault).Now neither are we interakt users nor adobe users.
Last time i called I was asked to pay $477 to upgrade to Web standards.Now it is not like we want to upgrade because we want more features,in our case,it is a replacement as the product is discontinued.
My other technical problem is here:
Anyways,am working on Classifieds Ad tutorial found here:
http://www.interaktonline.com/Documentation/MXKollection/077000_tutorialclassifiedadssite. htm
Am stuck since 3 days at this section here:
http://www.interaktonline.com/Documentation/MXKollection/077210_listadsbycategory.htm
at paragraphs 9-10
When i fill that table and click ok,it shows 0 rows from my database,though it has 2 rows that are shown just prior to filling that table.When i save and click ok,I got the error fromhell:
TypeError:BeforeNode has no properties.
Although the tuturial does not mention linking the Category table,i linked it as well as the subscription table but still no change.
please help me if am missing something ?
Thank you very much for your support.

Hi Mori,

that´s regretfully not something that can be expected -- as with all Adobe (and Interakt) forums, the ADDT forums are user-to-user ones as well.
Somehow,I didnt pay attention during the upgrade time to DDT,then I tried since mid november to no avail
as I have heard, MX Kollection customers had until 16th of June 2007 to get their upgrade, that is, the upgrade program to ADDT has
expired.
Since interAkt customers still access their accounts and can download their discontinued products,they also have rightful access to upgrade as the product changed ownership
as I´m no official Adobe support either, please take the following as personal opinion :: the fact that a customer can still download a product he paid for, doesn´t automatically imply that he´d be eligible for an upgrade per se, and the license of whatever product you purchased is related to that product only, not any follow-up version that´s not even developed/planned at the time you´re purchasing some license for whatever product.
In regards to the "changed ownership" aspect it must be said that Adobe did grant a certain generous grace period to get an upgrade for free, but accomodations like this can not be expected to get sustained forever.
Last time i called I was asked to pay $477 to upgrade to Web standards.Now it is not like we want to upgrade because we want more features,in our case,it is a replacement as the product is discontinued.
I ´m somewhat struggling with this statement obviously issued by some Adobe sales staff, all the more ADDT is not included in the "Web Standards" pacakage as well. Seems a pretty good deal though :-)
