to explain it....

you have a old installation, doesnt matter, what kind of CMS. for this project, you've a database.
If you start the upgrade, you overwrite the old files on the server and they'll work with the "old" database. But if you've new features in your files, maybe this need also an upgrade for the database.
As simple example: i repair a lot of the old modules and and for every old entry 6 new fields in the database, created_by, created_when, modified_by, modified_when, published_when and published_until. the last to fields make is possible, that i can use the time settings to switch on or off this single entry like the section settings from WB.
to add this six new fields, i've to start the module upgrade.
WB do the same with the core modules from the WB-package if you run the WB-Upgrade-Script, so you can say: the WB-Upgrade-Script make an Upgrade for the database also, but only for the core-modules from the package, for all other modules, you've to start a manuell upgrade (if you found a newer version of this module(s)

Thanks for your reoly and explantion. I am just pushing WB to do everything that I haven't done before. I have 2 versions of WB and would like to use the same database. Just wondering if that is possible.
Thanks.

Also when I installed a fresh copy I received this error message "Error: [172] Installer Security warning! Illegal file access detected!!" Do you have any idea what it was referring to?
Thank you.
