Whats the correct way to raise the action? I was told one way to it and it made my buzzing worse. I just bought a nice 5 string. It buzzes on the 6th fret of the B string. Whats the proper way to fix this problem.

Raising the action?

If it buzzes only in one position it's usually a high fret (the 7th in this case). It can be checked with a straightedge and then knocked down with a file and recrowned.
While you're at it, check to make sure the fret is seated properly. If they become unseated you can push down on the fret end and see it move slightly up and down.
