> I don't think that an enduser turning off a server during a transaction and the resulting data corruption, should be blamed on VFP's DBF engine. Rather, the problem seems to be 1) The end user that turned off the server, and (2)the administrator responsible for leaving the server in a unsecure area. I don't think VFP had anything to do with it. I don't think bad luck had anything to do with it. Somebody was on a quality assurance holiday - and thats all that happened:-).

hehehe 3) plus a extra unlimited power supply ...
