Are you trying to use the J! installer? If so, that's not how to upgrade. Grab the 'patch' version of the ZIP, un-ZIP it and ftp the content up to your server, overwriting existing files.

Thanks Hugh, That worked for me... however still have one problem (well one I am aware of) at the top of the Fabrik screen I have all this code.

Any ideas as what I should do to get rid of it ??

Thanks John

Hmmmmm.

Do you have phpMyAdmin handy?

If so, can you check that you have a jos_fabrik_settings table, and that it has a 'description' column in it?

Hi Hugh Thanks for your help so far I really appreciate it.
I may be getting out of my depth here but will keep trying as long as you are able to give me the time. I have checked the Database and there is a table there as you described but now description column. attached is an image

Regards John

OK, I'm not quite sure why those fields are missing, but you should be able to add them by hand in phpMyAdmin.

You need to new columns:

description, type text, allow NULL
description, type tinyint(1), allow NULL
