>I had a user turn off the Server while in the middle of a pack. The table being packed was 80 meg with many records (all the financials, invoices, shipping data, and sales data in summary form) for six months. The file was hosed and indicated 0 records. FoxFix cured this problem, and additional training for the staff using the system was given.

I am in a similar dilema with an old fox2.6 app that I am maintaining from
time to time, the tables (5) every 5-6 months are close to 1.5 gigs
historical data for the most part, is there a way to pass the PACK meter
bar info into a form that tells the client that the tables are being
updated and DO NOT MESS WITH THE SERVER!! kind of warning.
