If you could use the BDE 4.51, I would think that you should have no problems. I have a job that runs each night updating a FoxPro 2.6 table with indexes without a corruption yet.

Hey Jack,

Thanks for the help...

As Inprise said : "This applies to all versions of the BDE FoxPro driver."
So i don't know what to think about your answer...however i'll give it a try (with bde 4.51).

(dunno yet if i had to recompile the entire EXE. We are workin' with dll's a lot. I'll ask to our C guru *g*)
