[quote="RWParts"]I have been deligently reading the threads turned up in searches on Can't open file: 'products_description.MYI'. (errno: 145) including this one: http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/896/rating/ but I am afraid that they are not of any help.  

Does anyone have time to direct me, please?  My host has a link to MySQL and the PHPMyAdmin, but there does not appear to be a command line so I can take advantage of the tips provided in my search results.

You can tell by now that I am not able to code.  A developer suggested I use OS and downloaded a template and I've been on my own ever since.[/quote]

You could try going into phpMyAdmin and Select your MySQL database, then select the products_description table and run the Repair on it and see if this fixes it.

I would try to do a backup before doing this. Not sure if that will work based on the error. But couldn't hurt to try.
