Beta 8 versions came with big bold red text all over them stating that they were unstable test versions only and not to run on productions server becuase of stability and beceuase you may not be able to upgrade to the final version when released. I guess you ignored this advise and went ahead anyway and run the bets version on a production server. The only solution now is to go through the version history file and re-create any database chnages in the database by hand. However, if your access database is 60Mb in size, this is far to large for an access database, and you need to be running SQL Server or mySQL ------------- 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 |

Then it would seem that you are in trouble, this was the exact reason why beta versions came with warning not to use them on productions web servers. Luckily it seems that most people took this advice. If you don't know database very well you may need to find someone who does, or have a look through Google for database articles. It shouldn't be to difficult, just make a backup of the database first, then create the new columns in the database tables, making sure you set the correct datatype and any default values. These are all listed in the version history file. ------------- 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 |
