I had the same corruption problems ( i got messages like 'maximum number of records exceeded' ) a few years ago. The problem was a network card that was throwing garbage and collisions into the network. In another case, i had my client change almost all his network cables, cards and hubs until it stoped. In both cases, this didn't reproduce itself anymore.

So I am now thinking I should be asking them to run Defrag as well and I don't actually know if Windows NT 2000 has a Defrag Utility like Windows 95/98.

Why do programs stop working correctly as soon as you leave the Fox?
