>Thank you for your reply, but I have to figure out how to manage this problem or I will have to revert back to VFP80 for this app. I think Novell Netware is corrupting these files because I fix them and two days later they are corrupted again. I have never had corruption problems before unless there was a good reason.

Sorry, cannot help you with that. We migrated from Novell to Windows a couple of years ago and have no regrets.
