I have been using the FAQ Administration MOD [v1.0] for a long time & have added many new FAQs.
Just upgraded to F.A.Q. Administration v1.1 & no longer can see any of the added questions/answers, though they are still in the database. I'm sure that I am missing something, but what? 
[if I re-upload my previous version faq.asp & admin_faq.asp all the FAQs are there, though the formatting appears a bit off] |

| richfed, the db-fields are named differently in the new faq. You have to rename them in either the db or the script to make it work (or remove the old faq-table and add the faqs anew). |

| Thanks ... if it makes a difference, my database is MS-SQL. No error messages during the updates; all appeared fine. |

OneWayMule, you are quite right. I checked my old db and new, and I could have sworn that they were different. I must have been more tired than I though when updated the mod on my forum. 
Sorry for the mis-information, richfed  .
I think you need to add which category your original faqs belong to in the FAQ table ( field F_FAQ_CATEGORY). |

Here's what I have tried so far:
1 - Attempted to edit the field as you said, via Table Editor. Would not accept the value.
2 - I used your new dbs file. I got the usual error messages for duplicate errors, but it did change the value. There was no change in my FAQ page, however.
3 - I re-ran the default FAQ update to repopulate the table, thinking it would maybe now add in those FAQs I had created with version 1.0. It didn't. All it did was double up on all the standard Snitz FAQs. Left me with this:
General
Do I have to register?
How can I use smilies and images?
Can I add a hyperlink to my messages?
What are Moderators?
Are cookies used?
What are active topics?
Can I edit my own posts?
Can I attach files?
Can I search?
Can I edit my profile?
Can I attach my own signature to my posts?
Are there any censor features?
What do I do if I forget my Password?
Can I be notified by e-mail when there are new posts?
What does it mean if a forum has Moderation enabled?
What is COPPA?
Where can I get my own copy of this Forum?

General
No FAQ found.
Can't find your answer here? Send us an e-mail.
So, I deleted the second General category that was created [empty] and then deleted all the duplicates in the original category.
Back where I started.
So, yeah, if you would, send me a script ... please!
Thanks -
EDIT ---->
AH! Discovered how to fix that! I thought that meant who could create/edit FAQs. Nice, so FAQs can be created that just moderators can view! I like that! |

OK - that took care of that. Thanks.
The only thing now is that they are all out of order ... because they are on auto-increment, I cannot renumber the questions. It would be good to be able to place them in a logical sequence.
One more thing, so when I add a new FAQ, it will now get a F_FAQ_CATEGORY value of 1 automatically? |
