See that the weird thing I didn't need to to run the script?  I will make the changes to that html document and I will e-mail it to you.  I just need to do the export and then have make the config change to the 'SQL_server_connection.asp' file and bam the site pulled up:) 

I was just double checking that I wasn't leading my self open for problems.  I tested the forum and it's working great.  I will go live in a few days....

http://www.lodogg.com/upsizing.htm  I updated it for you.

No, you still need to create the stored procedures, so you need to pull the parts from the sql setup file that create the stored procedures only.

How would I do that?  Just run the sql_setup?  I tired that and it said the tables have already been created.  But then I connected to the database and everything was working.  I went into stored procedures under SQL administrator and I saw the files in place.  Not sure if those are from the access conversion or if they were from the sql setup script.

 

thanks

I can't agree more. I'm only around half-way through the conversion and I don't want to think how many hours I've put in.

Before anyone asks though. It's been impossible to make the changes in such a way that they could be made available as a MOD. There are far too many changes that need to be made to make this a viable option.

When I come to build the SQL server version I am thinking about maybe making an mySQL server version.

I'm going to place all SQL queries in  sepprate class the same with the connection string as well as any differences between databases so it should be simpler to port to any database.

So this means that you will be optimizing the forum for SQL Server? I'll be the first in line to test that baby and give suggestions.

Sorry I ment ASP.NET version

I'm won't be making any majour advancedments to the classic ASP version I will be moving onto ASP.NET

The code base for Access and SQL srever will remain the same to make support simpler and the forum is already more optimised for SQL server by using different SQL queries and stored procedures.

Not to derail this thread anymore than it already has been but without taking advantage of the ability to return multiple recordsets, you really aren't fully taking advantage of SQL Server.

Does your move to ASP.NET mean that 7.7 will the last ASP version and what do you propose to do with ASP.NET that isn't available at asp.net?
