Yep... an email list is 'bout the most valuable thing on there, as far as other people are concerned.
It amazes me how much work I have to do to fix this. I've got a backup of the DB, but accessing it is not so easy from the office: I don't have any database program here. I'll bring MS Access with me tomorow.
I plan to rename all the tables, because I have to assume that the table names are known now. It's probably not relevant, but I'd rather start fresh.
My hosts on-line tools won't let me rename the DB, so I have to delete it, then recreate it (which I was going to do anyways).
I've isolated the faulty software in its own folder, and removed all permissions. I have to leave it on there, until I complete the data transfer, because I might have to access the old Forums, to make sure that all the data is going to be transferred correctly.
Ugh.
