>>In the old days (like 2 1/2 years ago) of FoxPro 2.6, having a computer crash usually meant losing the last record added in the table. I have noticed that with Vfp 5.0a, all the records entered from the time the DBF was opened are lost! Does anyone know why this is happening? After each record is added, a TABLEUPDATE() was performed, yet still these records are lost on abnormal termination.

Eureka! That could be the tip of the decade. It would actually make a great Tip for FoxPro Advisor. Thanks.
