Hi,

I am not talking here about the situation when entire records are hidden because they were not accounted in the header. If I recall it correctly, versions before VFP6 were sensitive to this corruption. And it is good that MS returned back here.
But if it is just a piece of one record, then it leads to confusion, it cannot be fixed by existing third party products, and reasonably (I believe)was ignored in the previous versions (including at least DOS 2.5).
