If I remember well Contact Form 7 does not use a database table. Upon checking my DB I do not see one either.
Contact Form 7 v2.0 and newer has own table on db. The issue ckortenhorst wrote is that the automatic table creation process has been failed. Sometimes it works if you try again, as it might be caused just by an overload of your server.
I loved the form but the upgrade has thrown me for a loop. I am having the same problem! I have deleted and re-loaded the plugin 2 times with the same result. I have 2 blogs and it loaded on one but not the other!
How do I get the DB created and make it work? I am using a Simple Scripts WP install and both are WP 2.8.4 installs.
@jccharles what is the Simple Scripts WP? Could you tell me how you used it in detail?
Sorry for the delayed response. I have Host Monster as my server host and through cPanel/SimpleScripts have loaded WP to my domain. Through WP I have added and deleted the plugin several times. Even with the most recent WP update (2.8.6), I continue to get “The database table for Contact Form 7 does not exist. You must create the table for it to work.” I am not familiar enough with the process to create a table. How do I add one?
Having the same problem here… if a fix is found, plz. let me know.
I’m too having the same problem..
I tried to install CF7 v 2.0.7, both automatic upgrade and a new clean install, but always get the same “The database table for Contact Form 7 does not exist. You must create the table for it to work”. Clicking on “create the table” just gets the “table not created” message.
I’ve had to revert back to v 1.7.7 and that works fine. But it feels a bit uncomfortable to have to use an old version which is not updated any more. http://instruktorslicens.se/?page_id=58 and http://instruktorslicens.se/?page_id=60
I’m pretty sure it’s no conflict with the theme because I use 2.0.7 on a another blog with a similar theme (although on a different host). WP 2.9 on both.
Any help would really be appreciated as I think it’s a good plugin – simple to install and use. I’ve been looking into cforms too, but it feels a bit too much for me..

I had the same problem with my wp 2.8. I created the table in my wp database and it started working.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS <your_wp_db_prefix>_contact_form_7 (
cf7_unit_id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
title varchar(200) NOT NULL default ”,
form text NOT NULL,
mail text NOT NULL,
mail_2 text NOT NULL,
messages text NOT NULL,
additional_settings text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (cf7_unit_id));
