    Default Stupid mistake

    hi all

    After I installed a fresh copy of the site I tried to copy only customer not all DB.

    I have (db_xxxxxx-xxxxxx.sql) file

    Customer information is spread across many tables and is inter-linked in complex ways - especially when they start to place orders, add extra addresses and send messages, pay with paypal (or other gateway, etc).

    You may have created a big headache for yourself.

    If you can go back to square one (restore the backup you made before you started tinkering) then you would be wise to upgrade using the recommended upgrade procedure.

    If your ORIGINAL database is still intact, then you could point your new install to it using the configure.php files.

    Do this ONLY if your new install is EXACTLY the same version as your original install.

    If there is data in the database that you don't want, rather than try to patch up bits of it, use the integral features in your ZC Admin Console that delete or alter data.

    It's more time-consuming - but look how much time you've spent so far...
