>>A couple of months ago, I got a report that the information that someone was saving into a memo field in one record was being placed and saved in the record that the other workstation was editing, but in a different field!
Are the workstations involved consistent?
>>Is this a network issue?
Unlikely, but I'd do the purge suggested by Cetin, anyway. I'd also check cabling and any client software on the machines in question.
>Novell is notorious for having problems with FP & VFP files. Are your tables and/or indexs approaching a 2-4 MB in size? Make sure you have all the latest patches for Novell. For a real eye-opener, go to the Novell web site and search for FoxPro. You should get about 1000 documented problems. At least that's what it was about a year ago, it's probably many more, now. Since we dumped our Novell server for NT, we don't have nearly the number of problems we used to have with file corruption, etc.
Hmmm. We've been running FoxPro (FPD2.6 & VFP5.0) on Novell for years without any problems. Must be the shoes, money...
