unfortunately the problem is that i dont have a csv of the current data, the most recent is Dec 9th and it too is corrupted but some things are recoverable as you say. Since the current data is on the data drive at the server with the username/password part being corrupted we cant access the data at all even the raw.
Ive got one trick left up my sleeve and that is in motion. But I am making no guarantees.

I have gained access to the database. Thus far we still cant get the database and forum software to talk to each other.
we are very close

I'm no MySQL guru, but I may can help later in the week. I'm still stuck in Dallas trying to coax some other database functions back to life.

Found you at last! See, the Dragonsfoot forums ARE worth visiting once in awhile! ;D Sounds like a real Snafu Jerry-i'd offer to help, but my experience with OS9 has not given me the training(unless I can drag-n-drop files via GUI, i'm completely lost!). I would'nt worry overmuch if we lose data though...I mean, what's a few long rants more or less? I'd be more worried about tracking down the regulars and letting them know you're still standing. BTW-what's wrong with this site if you need to wash your hands of the other one? Aside from not being able to access new posts with a single mouseclick, that is?

actually its mySQLadmin control panel and cpanel stuff. What I am trying to do is get the old database into a new database. The problem I am having is that the old database mainusername/password is corrupted this is why it wont talk correctly with the phpbb scripts. what i have done is set up a new restore forum that the uersname/password is not corrupted and will communicate witht he phpbb scripts. I was able to pull a .sql backup of the old database and am now trying to coax it into the new database. so far i havent had much luck since i cant do it thru sqladmin and since i dont have a "phpbb" database backup I cant just do it thru the phpbb admin cpanel.

If it won't go thru sqladmin then I'm out of ideas (note that I'm NOT a big sql know-it-all, so that ain't saying much). There's a way to move phpbb databases with sqladmin but it sounds like you've looked down that route already and since we're dealing with a raw data pull we're out of luck going down that road.
