Hi Borg,

Does the WWF setup file for MSSQL erase all tables in an existing MSSQL db when it is run?

No it doesn't, and by using the table prefix found in includes/setup_options.asp you can also ensure that the table names don't conflict with any others you already have in the database.

You can also use the table prefix so that you can run multiple forums from the one SQL server database.
