E C,
That's a broad statement!
Was you trouble because of inconsistent power (failures and/or brown-outs), users just shutting the system off (no 'shutdown'), leaving local and/or server HDs using write cache or some other similar problem?

I've found, and do keep in mind that VFP itself uses memo fields way more than most average applications, that they are extremely reliable and that their "bad reputation" is undeserved.
