Don't let the database and the tables get too big. I always tell my clients that after about two years, to archive the data and start anew.

But I haven't run into a lot of data problems.

It's also good to give the client a tool to recreate the indexes if needed.

Reason for asking is I've inherited an Access program which I made the suggestion that VFP would be better to use (i.e. multiuser, speed, etc. - list is too long :) ) however I'd like to know if there are any "major" issues with corruption and if I would be better off utilizing a 3 party product to deal with things.
