Having two types of view for one path I need a view for taxonomy terms that shows both any child terms as links and a table of product nodes tagged with the term, but I can only work out how to apply one or the other.

Any help appreciated!

edit for clarity: For the path taxonomy/term/%, I need to show the child terms of parent terms, or for a child term a table of all products (nodes) that are associated with that term. I have assumed it would be easiest to combine these two into one view somehow.
By the sounds of it are you trying to display two different views on one page? if so have a look at panels, or you can do it manually by loading the views pragmatically in the template.
if not, please clarify.
