Hi Barbara,
I wonder if you have a recommendation for UPS type/ configuration, that will perform an unattended shutdown of VFP??

Just last week we had a power outage, while we were out, probably 30 minutes. A small UPS did not have enough battery. Machine went down and, unfortunately I had a large table open, 400 MB memo file became corrupted. It seems like only a few records got trashed... (whew!) but I went through the whole Error 41, Memo missing or invalid, copy and restore, routine.

Now we are considering something like a Belkin 1000 VA UPS which has SNMP in addition to USB & serial. This would prompt Windows for a graceful shutdown of VFP, right? Which is best?

The better UPS's also have AVR voltage regulation which is a good feature.
TIA,
