Conversion from Snitz Access to WebWiz MySQL

   Hello everybody.
We are finally undergoing a long-awaited process to migrate from a Snitz Forums 2000 software with Access database to WebWiz Forums on mySQL.
There used to be a piece of software in .asp which did the conversion almost automatically and which used to be here:
http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=16577&KW=convert+snitz+webwiz+database&PID=114369#114369
but is now no longer available. My first question is: does anyone still has that script, and would he be so kind to forward it to me or post it here?

Now to the second question: we did a lot of work on WebWiz V 7.9 like customize icons etc. (it was year 2005) but later we couldn't use the software because it was not supported by our host at the time. The question is: does the mentioned script work only to convert to V 7, so V 7 must be installed to check the results? Or it would work on V 9 as well? What problems could we find if we decide to stay stuck to V 7? I see that a lot of things have been changed from V7 to V9 (icons to say one, and the general layout of the board) and we are not positive about redisigning customized icons, reset colors etc. once a year or such.

Finally, there was a fellow who already did this type of conversion who at the beginning was willing to help and do the conversion for us on a very moderate wage. We have now raised funds for him but it seems I can't have a regular email or PM connection with him, so I give up. If there's anyone else who ACTUALLY did this kind of conversion, has knowledge of tricks and troubles that it implies, and is willing to help in change of some money (don't expect a huge bunch of bucks, but it's still there for you to catch...) please email me or PM.

Thanks a lot for reading!
