Hi Tore
Table is small (probably less than 5 meg. and I reindex and update at least once a year.

>>One of the tables in the database is now erroring with the following message (which I didn't program into the table.) "Record not available ... please wait" The message appears in a wait window and locks the program. This happens on all machines. Each machine has their own .exe.
>>
>>I tried to go in through the 'backdoor' into the raw table through VFP and got the same message and it locked VFP.
>>
>>I'm using VFP 8 with the tables located on a server.

>>All other tables in the project are ok.

>>Any help would be appreciated as to cause and repairability. Thanks.
