yes, review post is in a separate database.

// If you use the same userid/password to access both databases, you don't need to
// uncomment the mysql_connect - this is only if you require different ids to access
// the ReviewPost database.

same userid and password to access both reviewpost and vb3.

//$link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "$dbuserid", "$dbuserpassword") or die('I cannot connect to the database.');

leave this commented because i use same username and password. right?

mysql_select_db ("review
_post_database")or die("Could not select photopost database");

then i uncomment this line because i want it to select the diffrent database that has reviewpost in it. right?

// If you use reviewpost in a seperate database from vB, you'll need to reselect the vB database!
mysql_select_db ("my_vb3_database");

then i would uncomment this line to select the vb3 database because the reviews abd forums are in separate db's right?

same thing as above.

// If you use the same userid/password to access both databases, you don't need to
// uncomment the mysql_connect - this is only if you require different ids to access
// the ReviewPost database.

same as above, dont need to uncomment because they use the same user/pass. right?

// $link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "dbuserid", "dbuserpassword") or die('I cannot connect to the database.');

dont need to uncomment, user/pass the samew for both.

mysql_select_db ("products")or die("Could not select ReviewPost database");

select the products database from reviewpost. but this is where i get an error because "products" isnt the name of any tables in my database. they all have a table prefix (which this refrence is lacking) of rp_.

did i follow the directions correctly?

then this takes us back to the above post of the errors im getting.
