Right then. Thanks for all the pointers guys. Even if I was somewhat incoherent when composing most of 'em. My solution entailed: -Grabbed the latest cvs kronolith and doing a diff/patch to bring the 'live' version up to date -Added the varios mysql parameters to the config.php -Tried to get rid of mcal and mstore as much as possible whilst muttering about mcal's parentage. Thanks guys. ;) -Dave
