mysql sloq?!

I've got a database with 17 tables. Several of the tables have about 350 records and contain no more than 12 fields per table. When I run a 'select' query on a table, it never displays the data. Trust me, the query is ok as I've done it many many times. However, when I do a 'select field1 from table1 where field2 = 'blah' the result is given at a normal speed.

I can also run a 'select * from table1 where field1 between '1' and '38'...38 being the highest # of records that can be displayed at once. The db has been running slowly growing at a rate of about 20 records a week. I had to take down a tool on an application that's using the tables... :( not good at all.

Any ideas as to why mysql would freak out like this at only 350 records and displaying only 38 records at a time?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks so much, dave.
