Access is a flat file which is why it is crap and the database is included.

mySQL is a server so you don't have the physical file like with Access, instead there is a mySQL setup tool that creates the mySQL database for you on the mySQL server.

If you create a blank mySQL database then use the database setup tool that comes with web wiz forums to create the database schema.

OK, I need to check out a few things then.. First, I need to find a tool to create a blank mySQL database.  I have 5.0 running here, but I am completely unfamiliar with mySQL.
 
Second thing i need to find is the database set up tool that comes with web wiz forum. I dont' recall seeing that tool anywhere in the zip file.
 
Sorry for asking such rudimentary quesitons, but Access, crappy as it may be, is hte devil I know. MySQL is hte deveil I don't know...
 
Thanks

OK progess of a sort, but not done

I created a database, and ran the MYSQL setup script.. It works with one problem

If i have one category and try to create a forum, I get an error:

POST /forum-mysql/admin_forum_details.asp FID=0|143|800a000d|Type_mismatch:_'CInt' 500
 
If I create a second category, I can create forums (or is it fora?) in the second category, but not the first one.
 
If I delete the first one, then I can't create forums in the remaining category.
 
any ideas?

Bruce, could you expand on why this is? It throws a spanner in the works for me converting from Snitz as the conversion route involves starting with a v7 Access database and then upgrading to v8 and thence to MySQL or MSQL.

[edit]Ok, think I found the explanation in your response on this thread:

http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=21376&KW=mysql+conversion

is that all that needs doing or is there anything else that might upset it? Thanks!
