I wasn't sure whether this would go better in the Access Database forum, or the MySQL database forum since it deals with both, so I put it here 
I'm trying to find a new host for my site since my current one is unreliable with the forums. I've found a new host, but they do not support Access databases which my forums currently use... Is there a way that I can convert my Access database to a MySQL database (which the new host supports) without losing the forum's data? |

Well, hosts sometimes say they don't support Access, but chances are their software does and either the sales department doesn't know this or they have been told not to promote it.
I was with a host that said the same thing about Access, but I did a test of my own and found that Access indeed was supported. Instead of lugging all of your forum files and database over for a test, try testing it out with a new install of Snitz just to see if it works then decide from there what to do next.
On the conversion, do a "Search by Member" here at Snitz for posts by Rui or AnonJr. I think I remember somewhere that they helped on that, and I also think I remember, I think, it was MarcelG that did an Access conversion not too long ago, so do a "Search by Member" using his name as well.

| If your host does not provide Access support that means the servers they use are running a non Windows OS. That will make those servers not the most adequate to run Snitz. I would either find a new host or switch the forum package. |

If you decide to convert anyway, have a look at the stickies in the MySQL forum; one of them'll cover what you need to do. Be very careful to read the entire topic and follow the steps posted eaxactly. And, of course, be sure to have a backup you can roll back to if things do go awry.

| Ok, thanks! I don't think that the new host I was considering has a Windows OS, I think they have a Linux, so I won't go with them, lol. |
