No command can prevent database corruption. As long as data has been written and still exists in a buffer somewhere (Foxpro has its own buffers, your workstation has buffers and the server has buffers), partial data can be written to the drive causing data corruption. FLUSH flushes Fox's buffers, but doesn't affect the workstation's or the servers buffers. Closing and opening the tables doesn't help. This just slows things down, so you can stop doing that. VFP has a scheme for minimizing data corruption. It isn't fool proof either. The only bullet proof mechanism would be one where the workstation writes a record to a temporary table and closes the table. A copy of VFP running on a UPS protected machine could then read these temp files from each workstations and commit them to the actual table. This is a primitive example of the kinds of thinkgs to make client/server apps so popular.
