VFP8 can detect table corruption which previous versions wouldn't. See INFO: Data Reliability Enhancements in Visual FoxPro 8.0 mskb #814131 , SET TABLEVALIDATE Command help and SP1 Readme for details.


>I have just migrated from VFP7 to VFP8.
>I noticed that sometime after using VFP8, the .dbf tends to get corrupted.
>Even deleting the index file does not fix it.
>But when I open it with VFP7 its ok, on VFP8 it say it is corrupted.
>What I did is, (using VFP7)I added a new field name 'a' char 1,
>then open it on VFP8. That when I can open it on VFP8.
>Then I remove the field 'a' using VFP8.
