	I have a very active forum on SQL 2000 that is 7.7a and would like to update it - I don't see any clear instructions to update the forum. What is the procedure? Thanks. Q

	Make a backup of your present forum, then update the ASP files. You may need to put back in your SQL server connection details after the update if you overwrite this file.

	Using the access version to do the same thing, do I just (after backup) copy up the asp files? The only alterations I would then have to make would be in common.asp would they? Or is it just as easy and effective to copy all the files except common.asp ? Thanks Duncan

	With the Access version, make a backup of your Access database, then just replace all the ASP files. If you have moved your database to a secure location (as you should have done) then you will need to edit the common.asp files to put back in the location of the database.
