We had a database created for us in V5 but the programmer has left us and we dont know how to update to v7. The database is causing a lot of new syntax errors. none of us are programmers. i am also afraid we could lose our data. Hence we are planning on creating a new database if this does not work.
Hi,
The database itself shouldn't be a problem that doesn't normally need to be changed.
To upgrade, first backup your site database for security. Then install CFv7 alongside CFv5. You can then backup your CFv5 forms one at a time and restore them in CFv7. Some tweaking may be needed if you have custom code or formatting.
If you are seeing syntax errors with CFv7 please copy and post them here so we can take a look.

We have no idea how to do this. More than happy to buy10 coffees if someone can do this for us. We also need a few things tweaked to make the program more effective for our usage. There are some part that have become redundant and some duplicates. The programmer was a novice when he created it for us and we were just a growing company at the time.
is there a drag a drop method so we can continue adding, modifying the fields as we continue to grow and need more information.
