Hi Denis,

>Running a VFP 9 app .exe on some PCs, when executing a specific routine that edits data in several DBFs, the app fails during processing and, very strangely, changes a file name from ‘authortemp.dbf’ to ‘00000G0P00C4.TMP’.

That would happen if you pack a table and the computer is running software that opens files like Antivirus scanners, or operating systems that keep locks longer than Windows, such as Samba.
