Hi, just a quick question:

If I uninstall my current version of the 6.x CCK in order to reinstall and update to the latest 6.x-1.x-dev version, will I lose all of my custom fields, custom content types, etc.? If so, should I back up any tables from in my database?

Thanks,
Andrew G

1. yes, you should backup :)
2. You should be able to disable the existing version - not uninstall - for the upgrade.
- and, as per instructions, visit update.php and go through the motions before attempting to edit, or even check, the module admin pages once the files are upgraded and re-enabled.

(should)

Good luck

You should definitely backup, but you don't need to uninstall or disable CCK. Just like when updating any other contrib module, put your site offline, delete the old cck folder, replace it with the new one, visit update.php and run the updates if any.

Beware that CCK doesn't support upgrading from a *D5* install yet.
