    Consecutive imports, second from vb 381 not working

    I have a fresh installation of vb.
    I have imported all from a fireboard forum. Went Ok.

    After this successful import I want to import only users from another vb (381) forum.
    I have manage to make the conection to vb import database (I have selected vb_36 from menue) and unfortunately is not working after checking.
    It is checking and saving ID-s (it shows completed after each table) but after pushing complete button I get failure under first step and cannot proceed.

    Or is there any way to import users from a vb installation to another? (both 383 at this moment)

    Any ideas?

      I have read and used but unfortunately is not working.
      Import ID has been removed (from previous import).
      I have used vb_36 and vb3 and vb2 with no success.

        Please describe exactly what you are doing and what happens when you do it.

        Also be aware that you have to import usergroups before you can import users.

          1. Import from Fireboard forum. Almost successful. Some threads have been lost (5 or 6) and I have manually copy them. In rest users and all where fine.

          2. I have dropped import ID's (first time forgot is needed )

          3. I have uploaded the database from another VB forum
          I have did some cleaning of unwanted tables ( I used Empty tables) I think there is no impact. I have then reuploaded full database just to be on safe side.

          4. update on config file to point to new database.
          Here I have change database name because unfortunately I have chose by accident similar names for both databases.
          Connection made successful.

          5. I have started Impex chose import from vb_36 to target vb 3.8
          The next screen with buttons appear.

          6. Start with Check and update database and got this:
          ImpEx will now Alter the tables in the vB database to include import id numbers. This is needed during the import process for maintaining references between the tables during an import. If you have large tables (i.e. lots of posts) this can take some time. They will also be left after the import if you need to link back to the original vB userid.

          After this I press continue and this bring me to initial screen where Check and update database has 1 failure.
          If I run any other module I get : This module is dependent on Check and update database cannot run until that is complete .

            If there is another way to import username and passwords from one forum to another (not with Implex) I am interested too.

            I have even deleted the impex table in the target database and no luck. Now I have restore it.

              Please note if you import from a msqli database you need to put msql whitout the i or it wont work. (this for who might make same mistake)
