Hi Craig,

Been there, done that. We have even re-created the entire tables from scratch. It's not real consistant, but it happens often enough that it's become a hot issue. I haven't seen this happen with any of our Win95 machines running VFP 5.0. I'm wondering if it's a Win98 with VFP6.0 issue or something.

Thanks for the response, though.

Tom

>>We have tables that when we pack them or do a significant amount of replaces, it acts like it's adding two spaces to each record. Therefore, the data is being 'pushed' to the right two spaces. It is happening in large and small tables, we've re-created tables and indexes and it happens on multiple machines even on one NT 4.0 machine.
