Try uninstalling and re-installing the forum module.

that didn't work for me

I could try and create a forum table, but i don't know the configuration for it
that is what i am trying to figure out now

Try installing a separate second copy of the same version of Drupal. Then use phpMyAdmin to copy the forum table from the new copy of Drupal into your real site's database:

- In the new copy of Drupal, click into the forum table, and click on the Operations tab at the top.
- Under the "Copy table to (database.table)" section, choose your real Drupal site's database from the drop-down, and (I believe) write the name forum in the field next to it.
- Press Go to copy the table.

I haven't tried this, but if all you are missing is the forum table, then I don't see why it wouldn't work. Let me know how it goes.

when michelle told you to uninstall the module , did you actually uninstall it using the uninstall tab? or only disable it?

if only disabled and reenabled that is not enough to remove then recreate the DB tables.

thank you much...

completing the uninstall process fixed the problem...I usually don't bother with checking the uninstall tab within in the modules page b/c most times the modules i've used don't have the uninstall option...

I'm glad i didn't have to go through the process of installing another copy of drupal.

appreciate the help
