Even more. In your example, if you copy the 6 files to onother directory in the local disks prior to power off, all 12 files will get corrupted.

>>Hi everybody,
>>
>>I have done some testing on this. And here are my conclusions:
>>
>>I can consistently repeat the problem in any Win2K Prof. Computer.
>>We have the problem since we upgraded the PC's to Win2K.
>>
>>I repeat it like this:
>>Enter VFP6
>>in the command window type: Modi Form test
>>Drop a textbox in the form
>>Press CTRL+W (It's the same whatever method I use to save the form)
>>Press the reset button of the computer.
>>When Win2k comes back, I enter VFP and the files test.scx/t are trashed.
>>
>>
>>This happens in 10 out of 10 times I repeat this steps and I tried them in 4 different computers.
>>
>>Other conclusions:
>>
>>- All the forms that were opened and saved in the last 2 hours (this number is obviously not precise) get trashed if the power fails on Win2K.
>>- FRX/T are affected as well (I imagine VCX/T also).
>>- The write cache property of the disk doesn't affect this behavior.
>>- SP1 doesn't affect this behavior.
>>
>>
>>So, without a UPS the probability of loosing work if the power goes down is very high.
>>I hope Microsoft adresses this problem shortly.
