OK - I am not all that knowledgeable about building websites, but I try. My forum got hacked and I had to have it restored. I figured I'd upgrade to 7.97 while I was at it. I got the good database file back and tried to move it to another location as suggested for security purposes, and rename it and reflect the changes in the Common.asp files. It wasn't working, so I figured I'd go back to my old version (7 something, not exactly sure) and just rename the database until I can figure out where I went wrong w/ the newer version. Well, with both versions, I am receiving this loading the default.asp:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'

Variable is undefined: 'strDatabaseType'

/forum/default.asp, line 126

Both common.asp files show:

'Database Type
strDatabaseType = "Access"
'strDatabaseType = "SQLServer"

So now, I don't know where I went wrong and despeerately need some guidance.

As you need to reinstall anyway, I would recommend that you go straight for version 8 and use the upgrade tool found in the version 8 forum to upgrade your version 7 database.

Version 8 also makes it easier to move the database to a new location with just one simple file change.

OK, if you say so. I'll let you know how I make out. Thanks Borg.

OK. Now getting:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'

Variable is undefined: 'strDbTable'

/forum/default.asp, line 137

The db conversion tool from 7 to 8 completed, but with errors. I noticed some tables were read only.The directory I put the access mdb in had write/modify permissions on it. Should I have changed permissions on the tables?
