>I never said that table corruption only is related to Fox, that's probably what's so tragic about it. Even though we might do a decent job in programming an app, a network error, like you suggest, ends up messing with it, that's what I ment, and what I tried to get others attention to. Let me state the example that made me think twice. I also had some jobs performed directly to a table earlier. Next thing I knew, user decided to turn off his computer in the middle of it, naturally by hitting the Power Off button directly...I'll skip the rest.

There are two things I always start with, when I show an app to a new user: 1. how to start the app. 2. how to get out of it. Then I start talking about irregular exits, power surges, data corruption etc etc. Works 99% of the time, and the 1% comes out to be mostly vis maior, and in very, very few cases the user. Though, when we began all this ten years ago, the numbers were not like this :).
