Yes - frightening, isn't it. The problem occurs when VFP crashes with an SCX open in design view in Win2K. If you look at your files, you'll see your file is filled with hex00's or something equally useful. It was fixed in the last SP - so get it and install it.

As far as restoring your scx file, there are two techniques here (in the files section, I think). Check Thread #466497 Message #466711 for details.

>Has anyone experienced file corruption with VFP6 and Windows 2000 professional? I have a problem where a .scx file will be corrupted and when you type MODI FORM [form].scx the command completes but nothing appears. Issuing MODI FORM ? and selecting the form has the same effect. This only happens on one form.
