Hi,
One of my users has accidently deleted a forum whilst "cleaning up". I have tried copying posts from a backup database, but must have missed something in a related table link because the server locks up with an asp error 0115.
Is there a correct procedure for restoring forums or is there a procedure for importing selected records from the backup database.
The back up database is 3 weeks old so in essence I am looking to merge rather than restore.
Thanks in advance for any help.

no, other than restoring the whole databse it is not really possible to retrieve a particular forum.
you could try restoring your backup to another database and then exxtracting the relevant data but it will not be easy, you will need quite a high level of sql knowledge to do it. |

Thanks for your quick reply.
re extracting relevant data, I previously tried copying from forum_forum and forum_topics but clearly missed something. How can I isolate all of the relevant data. |

Thanks
no problem with SQL, I just want to be sure to get everything in one pass from the linked tables.
There is more than forum_category, forum_forum, forum_topics, forum_replies etc |
