ok ill try and find it dave, it only shows the error in ie and not chrome its stage 89 of 110 i think in 4.0 when it trys to move the pictures to the attachments from the database this is on the live dev server which i only have access to, very annoying as i say i dont want to bugger the live live site, also dave do you do skins? i need our current 3.7 skin replicated in 4.2.3 once running?
