Below is text from a previous thread here on the UT that describes the problem exactly. I appreciate your experience with FoxPro and if possible would like to determine what might be different about your implementation than my own.

What types of file servers are you seeing thing on?

I've had problems with a lot of different programs corrupting data. Almost all of them have been solved by making sure the workstation and server only use the TCP/IP protocol - completely removing NetBEUI and IPX. I have talked to a couple of different companies tech support when I had problems with programs on customers systems, and invariably this is what I end up doing.

The other problem, the write cache on the server and workstation, has already been mentioned. I don't have the link handy, but there is a program on the Lotus web site that shuts it off on both the workstation and NT Server because it causes problems with Notes.
