Thanks Neil,
Now i remember that I've read that thread too - obviously my memory is shorter than yours :(
We are in VFP 8, don't get the eof chars, but we get some very inconsistent errors:
- broken indexes ( .cdx)
- duplicate IDs (on a free table)
- IDs in reverse order (if you look at the date with no index set IDs should appear in ascending sequence, but sometimes they are reversed)
We update the table on a LAN from local and remote locations (the remote connected over FDDI). Updates come from users, but also from an unassisted computer.
I could not make any connection between duplicates and the updates from the unassisted computer.
It seems that the index corruptions happen after updates from remote locations...
