Hi Barbara,

>Not so. I have seen numerous cases, even within the past couple of years, where data gets corrupted, either because of network crashes or power glitches. And the CDX doesn't seem to be any more immune than the DBF or FPT.

I think I've got a fair amount of applications running out (about a hundred databases) there with hundreds to a few thousand working with it every day for the last 5 years or so. I've experienced many corruptions in FPW 2.6, but very seldom (I can't really remember when) with VFP 6+.

It really depends on how you access the database tables. If you use buffering and transactions you've minimized the risk of getting corruption. As I said, I've got to think hard to think of any corruption at all, that was not fixed with REINDEX.

Walter,
