>>>Say, I'm "fed" up here too...Recently I had a whole slew of crashes in 5.0a, for a couple days. I finally found it was the fact that I had switched page names and page order on a very busy pageframe too many times. I redid the pageframe, and no more crashes. You might look for something specific like that...does it always occur in the same project, same form involved, for instance? <


>There are alot of developers that are NOT having the problems you are having. I have been using Fox products sionce the early 80's and I have never seen Fox move data files on its own. Most of the replies you are getting are suggesting that perhaps there is a remote possibility that your code might be at fault here somehow.<

Jim, thanks for the reply. I, too, have been using Fox stuff since the 80s and have never seen it move files of its own volition. The first time I questioned my sanity, the second time I was sitting at the keyboard with another (top-notch) developer looking on and we BOTH witnessed this weirdness. As for my code doing this, fat chance. My code in no way, shape, or form makes ANY attempt to move the datafiles, thank you. Just this morning, VFP trashed a project file when it crashed because I referenced a non-existent object (I had mis-spelled the name in the reference). I think you all should stop trying to lay this at my doorstep and fix this buggy piece of software. Send an engineer out to my place (see if Andrew Coupe has anyone available) and I'll show him enough problems to keep your bug-fixing team (you *do* have one of these, right?) busy for a month...
