>Thank you for the fast response. I figured that was the answer. I was hoping that someone might have a magic trick up their sleeve for this. My next question would be, how can I assure that this never happens? Is there a way I can write the data of the FPTs to another format (TXT, XLS, CSV, etc...) programatically? Maybe include a trigger some how that it will write the data out to another format every time the FPT is updated? So if the FPT gets corrupted, I can restore the information back from the most recent backed up ghost file so no data will be lost and a restore from backup won't be necessary.
>Thanks again!

I have never experienced lost data in a memo file, never. I have two requirements for all the users:
1. Never turn off the computer without exiting the programs
2. One UPS per PC, without exception.

NB! I do take backups every day, but fortunately I have never really needed them. Better safe than sorry.. :-)
