Was just about to start installing webwiz, when I see on the install page that I need to create a new database. This isn't an option as I have a database on a shared SQL server.

So - can I install into my existing db OK?

I presume the problem is that some of the tables may end up having the same name as existing tables which would obviously screw everything up. Or are the table names likely all to be unique?

Many thanks

Bill

in common.asp you can change the table and stored procedure prefix so all the forum tables will have an unique name..

you could for example change the prefix to fhgndgjtf and all table will start with fhgndgjtf instead of tbl
