Didn't find any fields in table 'tblAssays'
After exploring I get a report that
Can't open file: 'tblAssays.InnoDB' (errno: 1)
the table data is in ibdata files. If you simply cp the .frm file to another directory, it does not change the ibdata files. See:

Can anyone shed any light on this problem? Many thanks.
Only two ways to make copies of innodb.. mysqlhotcopy (its not free)
mysqlhotcopy is free, but it works only for MyISAM.
See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Backing_up.html
and=20
mysqldump.. This is assuming your not coping the entire db directory tree..
Maybe someone else knows of another.
