Title:
What can corrupt a DBC or a DBF
I have a user that is running a VFP6 application. Twice now he corrupted his DBC file. If I USE mydbc.dbc and BROWSE, I see that a bunch of garbage records were appended to the DBC and the DBC lost most of it's connections to it's tables.
I had to FREE TABLE on all his tables and ADD TABLES and redo the views.
What can cause a DBF or a DBC to get corrupted? Abnormal shutdowns like a power outage or re-booting without quiting out of the app?
This happened to him twice now. All other users have no problems like this.
Thanks,
Jerryt
