Thanks javi712 I've got the database and can see the problem.

You have modified the database yourself adding in new fields, this is coursing the update to fail.

The update tool is failing because it is attempting to alter tables with new fields with the same names as fields you have already created yourself. This is coursing the entire SQL Alter statement to fail on those tables.

For the upgrade to be successful, you must restore the database to the original 7.x state.

The following are fields you have created yourself that are coursing the conflict:-

'Hide' already exists in table 'tblTopic'.
'Hide' already exists in table 'tblThread'.
'Display_post' already exists in table 'tblPermissions'.

If you remove these fields you have created in the database and then run the upgrade tool it should work.

Ahhh... I wish I could have seen your last post before I started looking at the databases myself! lol. But you are correct, I removed those three columns and that allowed the upgrade script to update successfuly. Thank you very much for all your help and patience!

Glad to hear it has now worked.

I have also placed a note about this on the download page in the hope that others don't have the same issue.

I will also place a list of field names into the upgrade installation instructions later to help aid others with a modified databases.
