i put it in Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2010/editor data which was where the person who made it said you where to put it.

no what you do is go to downloads find the database you downloaded right click press send to compressed zip file when the zip file comes up extract it to editor data

yh went to start a new game and select the database but that one doesnt show up only the default.

Has to be a dbc, and you need to click 'change' when you go to start a new game when it offers you the choices of databases.

 

[Alcaraz]

When you start a New Game,a pop-up box should appear in which you have to tick 'Change' and then after that you can pretty much figure it out for yourself
