Hi , just a note to others , that during an re-installation or data-import (unsure which one) any tables in your nominated database with the same DBHOST_TBL_PREFIX will be removed.

Perhaps a warning somewhere about this ? , I appreciate that this is why you have prefixes and I should have considered this in the first place and was completely avoidable , but an easy mistake to make.

The reason ? I have some CMS stuff that relies totally on FUD and it made sense to me at the time to utilise the same table prefix to catagorise the tables usage... living and learning Embarassed
