I am sure you are right. And I plan to improve my design by making UI working with disconnected data from DB. Currently, the database/tables are open when UI forms are open. Then of course, if network goes down or user shuts off the computer, probability for corruption is much higher. There is another reason I want to move to SQL Server, more "political" than technical. Selling application with VFP database is much harder than with SQL Server. Some organizations when hearing VFP, don't even want to consider it.

I realize that. Maybe I will have to prepare a small prototype and test it first.
Thank you for your input.
