Thanks a ton!

It worked like a clock .

any help to go from beta 3 to 7.01

thanks

to goto ver7, I just used the old database, but added any fields that that new database had.  It seems to have worked, but forsome reason, the "stars" under a persons name (above their avatar) graphic doesn't work.  When I view the html, it just puts a ZERO ( 0 ) into there, not the graphics file.

I have do as u say but i get that message

"Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

Type mismatch in expression.

/newboard/Default.asp, line 298 < language=> " Pls help

make sure you are using beta4 and access 2000 version.

for uprading from beta3 i need the beta 3 mdb. I realize i don't have it anymore. for those who need beta3 to 7.01 or rc1 to 7.01 . You can email me the original mdb file and i will see what i can do.

regards

hi liveset i believe the error is caused by a wrong datatype.

make sure the author_id is set to datatype=numbers

hope this helps

open the mdb file using access. open the table .

there is a triangle at the top left hand corner click that.

now the first column will display all the column titles and the 2nd column will display the data type

click the datatype and a menu (arrow down) will appear choose number

regards

I just used the ww7 Migrator tool and took a v6.34 Forum up to v7.01 without a hitch.

Of course, now I have to set all the forum permissions and groups that I want...but such is life with such a great forum app!

Xeerex, but where is the so called migrator tool that work especifically in sql 2000 from 6.34 to 7.01 ?.  I went in to the mod and adds forum and the one is posted didn't work.  It have been three, four days by now searching for the migrator..

Can you help me ?.
