FOXPRO 2.6 - DOS - DATA CORRUPTION IN DBF'S

[JoeM]

Null character is being inserted randomly into tables. The basic process is as follows:<br>
Data is imported into a temp dbf - data at this point is ok.<br>
This data is then appended into the main header db, this is when<br>
the data corruption is occuring. It's affecting both the existing records and the newly imported records alike.<br>
<br>
Any help would be greatly appreciated! <br>

I would like to more about your problem. Been using FoxPro since version 1.0 (since time began. Never quite saw this problem - have done and still do many APPENDs.<br>

They get thousands of VFOX tech inputs a week.<br>
<br>
Is your input database part of a dbc?<br>
Is the input database multiuser?<br>

We have had some problems with shared files<br>
when importing from free tables.

We have a Foxpro 2.6 database that is run on a NT 4.0 server. Data files are copied to the individual workstation and then copied back to the server. This leads to much network traffic and a lot of files 'stuck'. The more traffic, the more null values.
