Hi Claire The database details are in the file... vsadmin/db_conn_open.php ...but I have to say this does seem a bit heavy handed by the hosting company.
Hi Vince, thank you, yes, I didn't want them editing my files, so I have called them, changed it myself and its all working. Im doing the php upgrade next Friday myself too. So I can back everything up first.
Thank you for your help and being there to answer all my silly questions because im not a techy, just learning as I go! X
