texte = John, I can't speak to all the changes because I can't find the documentation that explained how to go from 1.6 to 2.x. But the primary change involves the database format, in that you must add a record at the very beginning of your database(s) that defines the fields you are using. In older versions the number of fields and their names were fixed and could not be changed. So if you add this additional record to the top of the databases you're using, and also add the name of the database you are referencing in your links and forms, (&db=mydatabase.db or that should take care of most of the changes. Perwviously there was only one database, so you did not need to specify which one you were using.I am sure there is more to it than that, but that should get you started until Grant or someone else can point you to the docs that detail all the changes.Wilkins, John wrote: > > I've got the job of upgrading a web server that uses Version 1.6 of > WebCatalog and WebMerchant.
