Also compact and repair the database in access first to stop any error form occuring. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

This doesn't really matter until v7 Final, but in testing the upgrade script from v6.34 to v7b3, I am getting the following error when try to post anything: Error Type: Anyone have an idea? All the posts are there. Changes in the admin section such as adding forums works fine. It seems to only be on posting new topics or replies. If you want to visit the test, go to http://rexpage.homedns.org/cotpforum - http://rexpage.homedns.org/cotpforum and try it. ------------- http://webspacegeeks.com - Need Hosting, Domains, Dedicated Servers? http://www.smartergeek.com - web design | pc support | training | podcasts | video production |

You must have a corrupted database then, you need to compact and repair the databases before and after the upgrade. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

borg, Did both of those and the same results. The database doesn't give any idications of corruption as I can open it fine after the updgrade. I know its not corrupted before the upgrade as it is a straight FTP download from a working 6.34 forum and will power a 2nd 6.34 forum just fine. I'm not too concerned at this point since I don't test the beta's on anything I plan to use live unlike some forum users. However, I am a little concerned about being able to eventually upgrade this one particular forum. Any ideas or has anyone else had problems with the Access upgrade script to v7b4? ------------- http://webspacegeeks.com - Need Hosting, Domains, Dedicated Servers? http://www.smartergeek.com - web design | pc support | training | podcasts | video production |

Hmm--guess 3rd time is the charm. I went through the same sequence a 3rd time and now it works fine. So nevermind on my little problem ------------- http://webspacegeeks.com - Need Hosting, Domains, Dedicated Servers? http://www.smartergeek.com - web design | pc support | training | podcasts | video production |
