sovainfo is correct you need to update the 3.2.6 the way it is designed to be updated ... mix 'n' match of databases will break your site.
This is a copy paste of updating 2.5 to 3.3.6 but the methodology is the same as updating 3.2.6 to 3.3.6. You may need to use the Extension manager method because 3.2.6 might not recognise the update.

Preparation
Use Akeeba Backup to create a copy of your site in a new folder or locally on your computer and use the copy to do the migration.
Make sure you Joomla version is 2.5.27 and that all the 3rd party extensions are up to date.
Disable the 'Remember me' Plugin in the Plugins Manager.
Make a list of all you 3rd party extensions and note which are compatible with .3.3.6
Uninstall all the non compatible 3rd party extensions and disable all the other 3rd party extensions.
Check with the authors of the 3rd party extensions to see if they have upgrade instructions specific to their extension. Some extensions may require uninstalling the files but leaving their database tables intact !!!
If you use a custom Template check it is compatible with Joomla 3.3.6. If you are in any doubt then set Beez 5 as default.
Back up your changes.
Completing the upgrade
Navigate to Components >>> Joomla! Update.
Set the Options to STS ... If Joomla 3.3.6 does not show then purge cache .
Click to update.
Set the Options back to LTS.
Note: You can also upgrade by installing the Joomla 3.3.6 full package zip via the Extension manager.
Install the latest versions of your 3rd party extensions (taking care to follow any instructions specific to each extenstion).
Re-enable all your 3rd party extensions.
Set your custom Template or install a new one if you need to.
Re-enable your 'Remember me' Plugin.
Move your active site to a subfolder
Move the upgraded site to your website root (edit the paths in the configuration.php and .htaccess if necessary).

Webdongle I appreciate your getting back to me on this and telling me exactly what I already did. I uploaded a new version of Joomla 3.3.6, I put my old site prior into an archive folder and moved over images etc. as needed. I re-installed all components which were three, YOO widgetkit, YOO_ZOO and my YOO THEME. What you both are telling me it is not good import data from an old database? Why is this not OK as it is only the row data that was inserted using the back end forms from ZOO recipe. I have not changed any of the data in any tables, the original 3.3.6 upload and database population was exactly what it is, never touched.
The extensions that were installed were only populated with the data that they needed which as the recipe information. If I was to do what you are telling me I will need to use a backup from over a month ago to get back to the 3.2.6 version I used which means I lose all sort of data. Is there no way to check the DB in the site, I have already hit the fix button from the configuration in the admin and it came back fine?
