 * Thanks, I could not find the answer you already gave. Sorry. There are many, 
   many thousands of table cells. That’s why I bought the problem. I hope I don’t
   have to switch to a different one. 🙁

 * That was it, thanks! Only having access through FTP makes me crazy, I would like
   to be able to just do a find/grep. I suppose I’ll have to download a copy. You
   saved me hours. Thanks again.

 * Ok, I figured it out.
 * In wp-db.php there is some logic that gets the tables out of the database to 
   see if they are there. On about line 167 there is a line:
 * while($i < msyql_num_fields($this_result))
 * which then calls mysql_fetch_field
 * The query was correctly returning $this_result as empty, but for some reason 
   when it made the call to mysql_num_fields, it was returning 1. When it got to
   mysql_fetch_field it silently died.
 * I added the “if($this_result)” right before the “while” and now it works fine.

 * Yes I have. If I do not do that, it fails on step 1 with an error.
