:perror 150
MySQL error:  150 = Foreign key constraint is incorrectly formed

This is usually due to a missing index. To make a foreign key, both of the involved columns must come first in an index. Do you have indexes on msg_recipients.recipient_member_id and members.id?

I tried to create a foreign key using:

ALTER TABLE msg_recipients ADD CONSTRAINT
msg_recipient_member_fk FOREIGN KEY
(recipient_member_id) REFERENCES members (id);

and got this error:

Can't create table '.\wapmagic\#sql-c50_48.frm'
(errno: 150)

Any ideas?

Thanx
Herman
