I uploaded files for f to h and then uploaded all of the admin files from the 1.3.9h package when things went wrong.

Data is not being displayed in admin:

new customer names on admin home

customer name, addresses (but phone &email addresses are there) on orders.

product name, description on product info page

I'm buffaloed. Those are the first things I see gone but that may not be the extent of it.

Does anybody see a pattern with what's missing? Any guesses as to what I might have done?
