I have searched, sorry if I've missed it...

But I can't for the life of me find a seamless way of upgrading 7.01 to 7.8 (SQL 2000). I'd really not like ot lose the content of my forum, and as I recall there was something more than simply copying files over in a previous (skipped by me obviousy) upgrade from 7.01...

...any help appreciated, thanks

Stored priocedures have changed in the SQL server version.

You will need to go through all the posts on new releases to find out which ones to change.

The following search will help:-

Ah, thanks - I think I've got it worked out.

I upgraded to 7.5 - copy files over, update stored procedures...

Then upgraded the stored procedures as per 7.51 upgrade, copied 7.7a, then 7.8 files over.

I may have taken extra steps, but it did the trick, I knew I was missing something, thanks -borg- I like what you've done here.

I am behind the upgrade curve big time. I am trying to catch up. However, I can't seem to find the older releases to follow this upgrade path. I have managed to download 7.7. Is it possible to upgrade from 7.01 > 7.7 > 7.8? I might not have all of the files in the interum, but I can definately upgrade the database and use the last set of files, right? I am using SQL2000 version.

Just install the latest files, you don't need the inbetween ones, then follow the link I gave in my previous post in this topic to find what stored procedures need to be altered.

The latest version is 7.8, just upgarde from any 7.x version to this latest version.

Okay, one last silly question

All's well, skinned (mostly), except, for some reason everywhere that there's a javascript popup, I just ger 'error on page' at the bottom of my IE window... this happens just on my forum - works here. I've managed to remove the javascripts from many of them, and just open in new windows, but that's obviously not as nice looking

Error is line 1, char 1, object expected when I click for details...

I have SQL 2000 server, IIS 5, if that helps any.

It sounds like in the "skinning" process you may have removed some of the js functions from the <head> tag. Try checking those out.

Ah, you're right - dumb of me.

The link to the javascripts in the header.asp file had a bunch of /../../ stuck in there... I blame Dreamweaver. And my own oversight of course.

Thanks - all's right with the world again
