>>>I have come across a very strange case with a customer where 2 users are using the same application (I verified by version number), looking in the same folder for the data. But one user sees fewer records in one table than the other user. I even connected to both of their desktops and opened the table via VFP9 (Command prompt). And I find different number of records in the table. And according to the user some entries are different.

The description you give of looking in the exact same place and seeing two different files sure sounds like virtualization.
