- I'm having a problem with FoxBase screwing up data files. It seems that two extra
- characters are being inserted into the database file at some point, and therefore,
- all subsequent data is 'off' by two characters eg
-
- Field 1 Field 2
- Position 12345678 12345678
-
- Rec 1 12345678 abcdefgh
- Rec 2 24680246 rstuvwxy
-
-
- becomes
-
- Rec 1 1234xx56 78abcdef
- Rec 2 gh246802 46rstuvw etc..
-
-
- After a half dozen records or so, Fox drops the two characters again and the data
- goes back in sync. Has anybody seen this problem/know what to do ???
