Re - size of file -
File size is 14.2k.

Re - Does the app keep the tables open?
Yes, some tables are kept open as an alias, and just SELECTed when we need them. There are also tables that we open, read/write, and close again. The corrupted table I mentioned earlier was of the latter type. We open it, read or write to it, and close it immediately.

Re - Updating our tables? What do you mean? The regular VFP stuff, like

USE tablename IN 0 ALIAS aliasname
SELECT aliasname
APPEND BLANK
REPLACE fieldx WITH "value1"
USE IN aliasname

or SQL inserts. Nothing fancy.
