You may consider putting a FLUSH command a key points where you write to that table. That's supposed to force the changes to disk. Of course, you will pay a penalty in speed. I've used this in critical areas of an old 2.6 application, and while I get occasional missing records and mystery blank records in some parts of the application, I have almost never had problems in the area where I added FLUSH after writing to the table.

>We are experiencing missing records following BSOD on a Windows 2K Server with Terminal Services. Sometimes we lose 1000's of records and several days of information. Data loss is consistently on one main table (heavily used for lookups, etc.) approximately 260mb in size. No corruption, just missing records from the last entered items. (we must rebuild indexes after this occurs) Other tables are fine, no data loss.

>Environment is W2K Server (noSP), on Compaq Proliant 6500 quad PPRO200 1meg processors, 1.2gig memory, SMART 3200 Raid controller (write caching disabled to try to minimize any potential for problems there) 3x 10,000rpm disks. No other data appears missing, just foxpro VS6 SP3. Foxpro is used exclusively on this W2K Terminal Services computer. (for stability reasons) All hardware has had recent diagnostics and checks out fine.
