I had the same problem a few days ago. The table file on disk has
disappeared somehow, and i couldn't DROP the table. The only way I found
is to copy a file from another table with the same fields to this
table's name (look into you database directory). After that I was able
to DROP the table.
But actually I have no idea how that file got deleted. Anybody?
Thanks,
