I need to reinstall and do not want to lose my guestbook signups. Cannot find any php file that has my guests messages.

Thanks

You could use phpMyAdmin to save them in a sql dump file and then use the dump file to restore the database and its entries.

Or... You may not need to delete the database just reinstall and leave the database there and when you run install.php it'll say the tabes already exsist and then you can carry on. But I'm not sure that'll work.

To get phpMyAdmin you'll have to ask your hosting service for help.
