At some point, the rows setting on the CCK add/edit text field form disappeared. I can still the row setting values in the Drupal database table. however I can no longer add row settings to new CCK text fields or change the value for existing text fields.

This may be related - I occasionally see this error message in my log entries list. 

Table 'drupal.d1_content_node_field_instance' doesn't exist query: SELECT field_name FROM d1_content_node_field_instance WHERE type_name = 'tablename' AND widget_type = 'text_textarea' in /.../drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 174.

Re-installing some of the add-on CCK modules enabled the row field to re-appear.

FYI - I also re-initiated all CCK updates starting from the earliest available number. That deleted all my custom CCK types but (fortunately) preserved the field instance linkages. so I was able to recreate my 15 plus CCK types pretty quickly. Running the updates moved a number of CCK fields to their own tables.

I banged my head against the wall for way too long on this issue.

I didn't realize that someone else had enabled the Multi Step Module for CCK, which caused this to happen to me.

I uninstalled the multi step module and I got the "rows" option back in my field settings.

HTH someone else.
