Now when he does this it will, many times, corrupt the indexes and then everyone that's using that program has to get off it and the databases are re-packed, which fixes the prob...until it happens again. The fun part is that there is no real error dialogue that shows up...just the standard foxpro box:

I've sen Error Reading file when the workstation lost connection to the network. After changing NIC and motherboard, we narrowed it down to bad wiring. Unfortunately, this is a very difficult problem to track down.
