bahhh cant sleep
Anyway I must be better than them because I have the database restored on my laptop. With it being on my laptop I haven't got near to seeing if snitz will talk to it plus I will have to learn how do get snitz to talk to it. I have ran some queries on the data tho and all I can say is "man I thought I was old" Ian S 5+ huh lol. A question I asked Bill was what the db size was well for anyone interested its 78.56MB. That's actually getting pretty big for reasonable cost of hosting in a lot of places.
So what gives with the tec guys? They aren't trying to load it into MYSQL or something stupid are they? It took me 10 mins and 9 of them was figuring out what I did wrong the first time when it failed. I forgot to redirect the files dohhh.

Good news Marki, I knew you would be able to do it.
Nothing like a few years experiance and a bit of lateral thinking to be able to sort thing out.
