Not a solution, but to get the client up and running faster, do a dos copy of the database container (DBC,DCT). When and if the database is corrupted again, get the user to copy the container back. Make a new backup copy each time you change the database (add a new view...). Note that this does not protect data, only the database container itself.

>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.
