I am just beginning work for a new client. This client wanted a VFP5 app upgraded to VFP9..they're using Novell (lastest version). After the conversion (very little changes needed to be made), they started getting file and memo corruption errors as well as indexing errors.

I took a copy of the data and tried a recopy using SCATTER MEMO MEMVAR to a new fresh data file (using GATHER MEMO MEMVAR) in VFP90. I got the same errors. (Running XP Professsional)

So, just to be sure (my version of VFP9 is new), I tried the same thing on VFP8. NO ERRORS! Then I took the new data file (8.0) and ran it through the same program only this time now in VFP9 and NO ERRORS.

I don't understand why VFP version 9.0 would give me this problem.

Since I converted my regular customers to VFP90 on another app, there have only been occasional memo corruption and numerous indexing errors on Novell networks only.

This new customer is also running Novell.

Is there some incompatability between Novell and VFP90?

Thanks in advance.
