>I'm at a loss, I'm afraid. If I could see the table I might be able to figure it out, but that's too large to email. :) Isn't that too large to even work? I though VFP tables couldn't get bigger than 2GB? I may be wrong on that.

yup, that's what the msdn library says:

Maximum size of a table file 2 gigabytes

now, maybe that's the problem vfp gets puzzeld/confused and messes up the sizes? i mean 2.1 gb - that shouldn't be possible. and i think that limit is possed on all files attached to the .dbf. wiered - to say the least.
