emucode, On the machine that is locking up do Ctl-Alt-Del and click the Task Manager button. Processor usage is at the bottom. If processor usage is at 100% it will take quite a while for the Task Manager to show up. Can you start another program or is the XP computer totally locked up? Also...

Hell, can't remember. Use a regular form and use code in the dataenvironment to maximize the form and dock the print toobar. Otherwise use crtl-f10 but be sure to turn off resource or it will be max versus normal everey other use. Regards, Mike

Does pressing both windows keys at the same time twice clear up the problem? Are all of your motherboards the same model?

Is there anti-virus running there that is different from other sites? Is there a setting that can exclude VFP files? Regards, Mike

Additionally, If the table was a large one it was spanning many clusters. FCHIZE() will allocate the first available clusters, which may not be the clusters needed. Is the first portion of the data OK and then junk? Regards, Mike

BTW, Where was the dbf you are trying to recover located? If on a Novell server you may be able to use Novells' Salvage command. Regards, Mike
