>Is there any reason you can think of why VFP is not reliable on Win95 PTP network. Are there any settings that will make it more reliable. This is really bad news to me if it is not overcomable.

I think one of the reasons (and I could be wrong) is that Win95 is buffering the actual physical writes to disk while reporting back up to VFP that the write was committed. I know that when table buffering is used with moderate traffic levels, an occasional corruption is almost inevitable.

Perhaps if you moved to a client/server topology with something inexpensive like Sybase SQLAnywhere brokering all data read/writes you could eliminate the problem.
