database corruption

[kraus]

i have two of my own database applications running on the same computer. (2.6 GHZ 128 RAM, windows XP) one application is a VFP 3.0 app and the second is a VFP 6.0 app.

the VFP 3.0 app is corrupting several table's memo files on shut down (of my app). when the app is started again it asks to repair all the tabe's memo files before it starts.

there are no crashes preceding this and no sign anything goes wrong when i shut down the app

please help!!

thank you

HI
I am also reading this with your earlier thread..
Fatal Error During Design
thread184-347306

It is likely that you are having a harddisk failure.. or driving towards a harddisk crash. Better backup soon, if not prepared. The database of VFP3 is getting inn the midst of the crash for the immediate time.

This is just a guess. Always be prepared to face the worst.

this is a different computer (the computer i installed the applications to, not my design computer). the previous thread was in reference to my design computer. to fix that problem i just reinstalled the VFP 6.0 operating system.

kraus:

If you still have access to the VFP3.0 dev environment, maybe a flush() before shutdown will help.

Perhaps...

As an addendum to my post above, your machine is pretty fast, so I'd assume if you are leaving any files unclosed in your app, VFP3.0 probably doesn't have time to perform all it's house-keeping before the machine shutdown.
