>I know a couple of reasons that a table can get trashed, garbage characters instead of valid data, like a user turning off a computer without exiting the application, power outage, etc. Here's the situation...

>A network (Netware 4.x) VFP application with the tables on the server, workstations running Windows 95/Client32. Memo files have been trashed infrequently in the past, but recently they have been getting trashed more often. And now other fields, not memo, are starting to show up with garbage characters. We have done all of the regular trouble shooting things, FoxFix, reindexing, etc. However, it has occured again. The users have been thoroughly instructed to exit the application, no power outages have occured recently, etc.
