And still the same problem - corrupted header (that does not allow to add new records in run-time). The most interesting thing is that they say that no any crash occurred. So this is not a crash problem. This is something internal in communication across local network between VFP and files on file server.

Vlad,
thank you very much for the info. I'll take another look at what is happening. If I find out any more I'll let you know.

Are you saying that FLUSH helped or that you are still having the problem.
What type of networks are your customers running? Novell or NT or other?
I'm trying to get as much info on this as I can. Thanks.
