Records are being deleted en masse (maybe a 100 or so at a time) at just the one customer (that i know of) and i can't see any pattern as yet. There must be something in my code with an erroneous "Delete For xxx". I was wondering if a corrupt index might be causing the wrong records to be deleted which is when i started looking at Norton.

hmmmm... well I would recomend using views - but with just a handfull of users like that I don't see how that could be the issue. How big are these tables? Like are they over a gig? ... a corrupt index does seem like the most likely cause.
