Hi Brian,

check SYS(1104) and FLUSH. But turning off the computer without shutting down the programs, is probably the worst thing you can do!

NB! The FLUSH command has been vastly improved in VFP9!!!

I never used to get these errors before. If there some commands maybe I need to add to forms to reduce the risk of corrupted files ( e.g. flush ?? )
