Meanwhile, thanks to UT, there 2 solutions, a better one and the best one :

Better : pack the table in 5.0
Best : use of SET TABLEVALIDATE in 8.0

>I have seen this problem. The way I fixed it was to do the following. You must do this in the version that the table was created ( VFP 5 in your case). Copy the date in the table to a temp file. Drop the table from the database and delete it. Recreate the table and append your records from the temp file.
