I started reading through the Impex 'readme' and 'Howto' but I'm not sure if it's going to help or perhaps it's a full body plaster cast solution for a band-aid level problem....
I'm importing from an unsupported forum (an in-house forum from a forum site we're helping out)
The old forum uses access and the only reliable way to export the user info is as a CSV.
My thought was to:
1. Backup the new vb user table
2. Export a copy of the user table from the new vb install as a CSV
3. Make sure that the CSV from the old forum had the correct fields (if not add dummy info so the entries do match)
4. Import the combined CSV through phpmyadmin overrighting the old table
If any more clever minds (not that hard) can spot a flaw in my logic please throw it at me
