ok ill explain

*takes deep breath*

I orginally used vbb ( vbulletin ) version 2.0.0 with vbportal (vbp ) 2.1

I uninstaleld vbp due to some erros I couldnt get rid of, but the database adjestments vbp 2.1 made to my db seem to be still there.

so, this day coems and I need to install vbp 3.0 ( which is supposed to work fine with 2.0.3 ) so, I backup my db, put it aside and install 2.0.3 ( but fresh install ). I make it a fresh install because vbp 3.0 seems to install best on a fresh install of 2.0.3 ( and indeed it did ).

Now, I got vbp 3.0 workign fine, but without my threads and forum which are in the db I have put aside ( 17 mb big ).

So , I try ( being the amateur I am ) importing my saved db into the current db but I get an error " Table ACCESS already exits " or somethign similar and so I gather I cant do it.

So NOW, im runing all over the place, not understanding what to do as I cant get cbp 3.0 working and I DESPERATELY need this portal to work.

If I install 2.0.3, import my backup THEN install vbp 3.0 , it seems to un-install the vbp 2.1 settings fro mthe db, and installs the 3.0 settings fine , and I upload the style for vbp 3.0 fine but I cant see the portal then

* gasps for air*

I hope it makes sense now, and if someone can help me then Ill be the most thank ful guy in the world !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
