I have been getting this same error. I am not able to Alter or Drop Tables. I am definately sure that I have the necessary permissions. This has happened on all of my recent installs of MySQL on windows XP and 2000 advanced server. I would appreciate any knowlege on this matter. Getting tired of shutting down the server and deleting the tables just to alter a feild.
