    Attachments source not found

    Hey all,

    i have done dozens of these imports and I don't know why I am having an issue this time. No matter what I do I cannot get the attachments to import.

    The attachements on the old base are being stored in the database-I don't usually import this way but someone recommended it..not sure why..

    Honestly I thought this step would be different with the attachments in the database..



    At any rate I have the old attachments in a directory and I keep getting "source doesn't exist or not found I think..I know I have had the path correct. Is there something I am missing here?

    The import was from another VB site to the new version.. It was from 3.8.4 to 4--

    Why is there no option for 3.8.4 in the impex menu when there is 3.0, 3.5 and 3.7??? Which is best to use if importing 3.8.4 to a Vb4 site??

    Thanks

    Try to upgrade your forum insead, rather than doing it through the Impex system.

      Upgrade is not an option or I would have done that--Does anyone have an answer for the question I asked?

        The show of support is overwhelming...

        I am moving data from one forum to another-- Can anyone tell me why I am having issues with the attachments and also, why there is no script for 3.84 vb import? Which script should I use? 3.,7 I would guess..

        Any real help would be appreciated...

        Thanks
