Cannot seem to get tools to work

[Julesx]

Just got server up and running perfectly 1/9/12. Thought it was time to start adjusting things. Downloaded georges tools eqitem editor. Installed Ocx drivers worked perfectly. Changed the DB.ini to
host=localhost
user=root
password=@@@@@@
database=peq
everquest_folder=c:everquest

Everything is looking good. Then bam fire it up and Error connecting to database - perhaps a missing version field in variables table?

So i looked all over and only advice i found was some tables don't have the version info update the database. I don't quite understand how to do that considering i have the most recent db i can find. Any other suggestions on how to fix this little problem? Fyi sometimes i can be a lil dense so as much of a walkthrew fix as any can provide would be very much appreciated.
