Rick,
Thanks, I'll do that. Everything was working fine last night, then I found this mess this morning. I did not make any changes; heck, I didn't even make any posts last night. Do you have any idea what might have caused me to lose permissions?
By the way, I went to the mySQL administration page, where I was able to log in and browse the database. However, when I tried to edit a record, I received another #1044 error message. Sounds like you nailed it when you identified it as a mySQL permission problem.
