Firstly, thanks for your response.

2) In general, you cannot move 1.5 tables into a 1.7 environment.
3) However, if the userids are unchanged, you can move the cb environment
The thing I am most unclear about is what you said in items #1 and #2.
I am confused because you (and instructions on another thread) have indicated that the 1.5 site should first be upgraded to CB 1.7
My initial objective was to first upgrade to CB 1.7 on my joomla 1.5 site, but the upgrade documentation indicated that this is Not possible - that CB 1.7 is only compatible on a joomla 1.6 or higher.
Is this correct or did I misunderstand this?
What I did is install a new/clean joomla 1.7 in a testing directory, then installed CB 1.7 and CBsubs 1.2.2
Is this correct?
I am also unclear about the CBjuice instructions: Which fields do I move from 1.5 to the 1.7 database? All of them?
Regarding your #3 point: I compared the user id's on the migrated 1.7 site and the user ID's have the same values - they did not change.
In fact, the fresh install of the CB environment is functional in the 1.7 site. The only trouble I am having is that some of the profile Tabs are invisible because some of the fields are missing. I imported the 'jos_comprofiler_fields' table from 1.5 to 1.7 site and that managed to display some of the fields, but others are still not displaying in the user profile page, causing some profile tabs to remain invisible.
Any advice based on this feedback?
