MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: Table 'someTable' doesn't exist - but it does

Hello,
I have a vb.net program that that wants to query a MySql DB to get information. It seems to connect but I get the error in the title
which says the table does not exist. Any suggestions on why this is happening and how to get around it? Below is the code and error.
Thanks in advance. Joe

Dim oString As String
Dim intNumSpecials As Integer
Dim dsConn As New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection()
Dim myConnectionString As String

myConnectionString = "server=someserver;uid=someuname;pwd=somepasswd;database=someDB"
dsConn.ConnectionString = myConnectionString
dsConn.Open()
oString = "SELECT count(f1) " _
            & "FROM t1" _
            & "WHERE f2= " & ID
Dim cmd As MySqlCommand = New MySqlCommand()
cmd.CommandText = oString
cmd.Connection = dsConn
intNumSpecials = cmd.ExecuteScalar()
