Pascal,
Would you pls run this one. Maybe some clue it might not be a corruption.

select myArea
? fsize("myField","myArea"),fsize("myField","myOtherArea"), ;
  set("near"), set("exact")
scan for (...)
   if seek(myArea.myField,"myOtherArea","myOtherAreaSeekTag")
      if myOtherArea.myField <> myArea.myField
         wait window myOtherArea.myField+;
                       str(len(myOtherArea.myField))+chr(13)+;
                      myArea.myField+;
                       str(len(myArea.myField))
      endif
*        (do something...)
     else
*        (do something else)
     endif
endscan
