Just saw your second post Chris, that makes sense to me. I thought the mainfile change was too good to be true, guess that was the case ;)

I will give it a shot and report the results! Thanks

Thanks Chris, just saw that edit but I'm unsure how exactly to apply it, I have used sqltalk plenty before for running scripts at work and such but I still really don't understand sql completely and it's general usage and am confused as to where to start with that.

Someone at the hosts forums suggested I simply change the following line in the mainfile:

// Database Name
// The name of database on the host. The installer will attempt to create the database if not exist
define('XOOPS_DB_NAME', 'NEW_DB_NAME');

Could it really be that easy?

ok open the SQL dump with notepad do replace ABCD_ with USERNAME_ABCD_ replace all and save it make sure that you make a copy of the original one before you edit it!
change mainfile.php to USERNAME_ABCD for the prefix
