adding the phone table did not solve all the error

still getting:

user warning: Unknown column 'phone' in 'field list' query: uc_quote_nodeapi SELECT first_name, last_name, company, street1, street2, city, zone, postal_code, country, phone FROM uc_quote_manufacturer_locations WHERE tid = 0 in /home/macdsto9/public_html/bowwow/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172.

uc_quote_update_6() has the code to add that column to the location tables. You can select the version to upgrade to on the update.php page. Version 7 is just a compatibility issue with Postgres that shouldn't affect anything if it's done twice.

what if I added the columns manually will that be bad or should I remove them and do the upgrade as you suggested. thanks for your reply Lyle.

It'd be best to remove the columns just to prevent an error and so that you ensure that the column is set up the way Übercart expects.
