VFP tables (dbf/cdx) as par as I know are now more secured than previous versions although vulnerable to corruption still. The disappearance of your tables on the server is quite questionable as in, it is more on user CONTROL IMHO. We are using NT server 4.0 as our NOS for almost 3 years now but we did not even encountered of such a case except when one of our programmers accidentally DELETED the whole files in one sub-directory. What is your NOS BTW?
