Question : Content database not showing data after upgrade and mapping

I thought I followed the correct steps and procedures to streamline the upgrade from WSS 3.0 to 2010, unfortunately not. I used the SharePoint Admin Console and did a full backup as well as a full backup of WSS_Content db. Installed Foundation 2010 and could not get the site back up, for example the admin console indicated I needed to upgrade the db - after struggling for I while I decided to start from scratch - uninstall SharePoint and just revert back to WSS 3.0 as I had a full farm backup - that did not work either. It kept failing with the restore of the db. Long story short I managed to get SharePoint Foundation 2010 up and running and mounted the db which now all of a sudden seems upgrade as the SharePoint Server Console shows it’s all up to date. I know this is the correct db as in SQL Server Manager the size of the database is the same as the old one. After creating the exact same WebApplication with same two sites and assign the content db to the webapp I am still unable to view any of the data in the db. The WSS 3.0 setup was very simple as I was just starting to use it but had allot of data in site 2’s Documents Library. Is there any way of getting the data back please – therefore making it display in the document library?

Hi, malcolm29.

That's simple.  Change this line of code

Set OLF = GetObject("", "Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

to

Set OLF = GetObject("", "Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("Tickets")
