I get error: ERROR: Error 1215: Cannot add foreign key constraint

I read other similar topics and http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/create-table-foreign-keys.html obviously however I can't fix the issue.

The Code is generated as follows (and it should work flawlessly god damn it):

SET @OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=@@UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS=0;
SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;
SET @OLD_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='TRADITIONAL,ALLOW_INVALID_DATES';

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS `foilmaster` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 ;
USE `foilmaster`;

-- -----------------------------------------------------
-- Table `foilmaster`.`Company`
-- -----------------------------------------------------

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `foilmaster`.`Company` ;

CREATE  TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `foilmaster`.`Company` (
    `idCompany` MEDIUMINT(9) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
    `Name` VARCHAR(85) NOT NULL ,
    `Country` VARCHAR(35) NOT NULL ,
    `PotentialSaleScale` SMALLINT NOT NULL COMMENT '1-100 Where 1 is 1 Pallete a Month and 100 is 1 Truck a week' ,
    `DateAdded` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ,
    PRIMARY KEY (`idCompany`)
) ENGINE = InnoDB;

-- -----------------------------------------------------
-- Table `foilmaster`.`ContactData`
-- -----------------------------------------------------

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `foilmaster`.`ContactData` ;

CREATE  TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `foilmaster`.`ContactData` (
    `idCompany` MEDIUMINT(9) NOT NULL ,
    `Phone` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL ,
    INDEX `fk_ContactData_Company_idx` (`idCompany` ASC) ,
    PRIMARY KEY (`idCompany`) ,
    CONSTRAINT `fk_ContactData_Company` FOREIGN KEY (`idCompany` )
        REFERENCES `foilmaster`.`Company` (`idCompany` )
        ON DELETE NO ACTION
        ON UPDATE NO ACTION
    ) ENGINE = InnoDB;

USE `foilmaster` ;

SET SQL_MODE=@OLD_SQL_MODE;
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS;
SET UNIQUE_CHECKS=@OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS;

InnoDB status shows this:

Both answers were wrong as it turns out. What was the solution?

I moved this line up to the top DROP TABLE IF EXISTS foilmaster.ContactData ;

Also, ticking the check box DROP schema also works.

I started wondering why it is the way it is... and ended up with the usual "I'm fine as long as it works" :)
