Thanks to all of you !

When I'm trying to make APPENDs from one computer to another, in a peer to peer Windows 95 network, one record at a time, in a loop, numeric fields that look like this in the sending machine (assume 10 bytes lenght):

[ 458.23] fine, but the receiving file (with identical structure) in the other computer, receive, in an erratic pattern, this:

[ ! 458.23] , or this:
[ 458/23]

Both are unusable. Clipper cannot workaround with this fields, and gives them 0 value (zero). !!!!!!
It can occur in a few records, in many, or in not one at all. Erratic.

Thanks to anyone who has an idea about what is happening !!
 
Are you commiting -> DBSKIP(0) or DBCOMMIT() after each append ? Some records float on some networks and get 'scrambled' before a hard disk write is performed. [sig][/sig]
