I have two problems First, the stored procedure 'wwfSpDBinfo' will not be made on the server. Second, When somebody post a message with a file and the message is deleted, the file will stay on the server. Is there a way to delete the orphan files automaticly or do I have to think hard and script this myself? Thanx for making such a good bulletin board! |

I have found the same problem. Are you using SQL7? The reason I say this is because "ServerProperty" which is included in the stored procedure is new in SQL2000, even though some of the documentation I have seen says it is in SQL7. I don't know if you can simply remove this from the DBInfo stored procedure for SQL7 compatability. Does anybody else know this? Cheers Tabbs |

This stored procedure is crucial to the running of the board so don't
worry about it. You will just loose the SQL server statistics bit found
in the admin area, but this is just there as a gimic type thing anyway
so isn't actual needed for anything. Files aren't connected to posts so won't be deleted when posts are deleted. ------------- 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 is why in version 7.5 files and images are stored in folders using
the members name this should help a little in tracking whos uploaded
what.
