VFP8 can detect table corruption which previous versions couldn't. See INFO: Data Reliability Enhancements in Visual FoxPro 8.0 mskb #814131 and SET TABLEVALIDATE Command for details.


>I have a table that can be opened just fine in 6.0 but am getting this error in 8. The help is less than helpful, really. Just says to use a 3rd party tool to fix the table. There's nothing IN the table, it's just a skeleton that the program fills later. I am going to try to just re-create the table, but does anyone have any idea why this happens? or how to stop that?
