Import Database question

[*****Sniper]

I have a Database with lots of discussions and users from a 'newsgroup' and would like to import them into vB.
I have downloaded the impEx file from vBulletin.com but the database where the users are is not a forum DB, so impex is not compatible with what i have.
should I:
export the relevant fields to a temporary DB and then use impex on that DB (in which case I would have to know the database structure to use....i'm thinking its not the easiest way to do it.)
or manually write SQL queries to transfer things from newsgroupDB to vBulletinDB (in which case i would need to know what fields HAVE TO be filled in in a Table in order to make things work)????

Well impex b default is not going to work for you, you need to either A get it into a form impex understands or try to write your own.
