Hello,
I have a client that is using an old version of the forum and would like to upgrade. At some point someone has modified the C_STRVERSION field in the forum_config table and the number is not available. Is there another way to find this information so that I can choose the proper upgrade?
Regards,
John |

| try looking in their old setup.asp file, it should have a strnewversion defined which could possibly be the correct value |

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately there is no setup.asp file any longer. It appears that the last person responsible for this forum did not have the best interest off the client in mind. Is there anything else that I could check to your knowledge.
Regards,
John |

| In config.asp file (or any other forum file) the copyright at the top of the file has a date. It could narrow it down to what version they might be running, depending on the year. |

| None of the files have the copyright disclaimer like in the new version. The earliest date of the files on the server is 7/19/2002 however. I'm assuming that was the install date. |

Are you sure? Because the copyright has been in the asp files since version 3 of the Snitz Forums. I checked this by downloading the old versions and checking the copyright.
So probably your version is older than version 3.
If the person installed the forum on July 19, 2002, at that time, we had Snitz Forum version 3.3.05 as the latest version. So if they downloaded at around that time, it would be that version you are running.
But the files having no copyright puzzles me. Unless the person went and took them all out. |

I just double checked all of the files and there is no mention of the copyright in any of them. I am baffled myself as to why someone would go through the trouble to remove that information. I will try the upgrade for 3.3.05 and see what happens.
Thanks |

What about the meta copyright in inc_header.asp? There should be a date in that.

| inc_header.asp does not exist either. I tried the upgrade for 3.3.05 and it kicked back several 80040E37 errors. The person responsible must have been a little disgruntled. Thanks for your efforts, I appreciate it. These people would like to keep the data and move to the new version but it is looking extremely bleak at this point. Is there anoth way to import the data? I see the table structure is quite different from the current version to new one. |

Does any extra info come with that error? "80040E37"
That error, from my search, means a table is missing. Not a critical error. It does not mean the upgrade won't work.
Shaggy, there is no inc_header.asp file in the older versions. It was inc_top.asp back then. |

The upgrade gives several errors similar to the one below and then stops with this one.
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e37'
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'FORUM_CONFIG_NEW'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.
I can post the entire output if you would like. |

I tried the upgrade for version 3.1 final and the output gave this error Error: 80040E37 Table 'FORUM_MEMBERS_PENDING' does not exist.
strUpdateSql: DROP TABLE FORUM_MEMBERS_PENDING
but then at the end it says it completed without errors. Hoewever, when returning to the forum I get this.
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e10'
No value given for one or more required parameters.
/new_forum/default.asp, line 234
I'm just taking a stab at it here. No harm done on this end. This upgrade looks to have created all of the tables and encrypted the passwords. Any insight into the required parameter error or am I going the wrong direction? |

It gives this message.
The database you are using needs to be upgraded !!
Code : 80040E10
It will not accept the admin login now when I try to upgrade again.
