Paradox : "could not find record" and Tutil32.dll

[Yaron Nahum]

Hello,

I'm using Paradox 7 Table with BDE 5.01 , Delphi 4.02 and TUtil32.dll
version 5
i have some files that crashed due to users aborting the software
(ALT+CTRL+DEL)
when i tried to verify and rebuild the table reduce from 1218 to 648 records

The table is very simple no lookup tables and no Referential Integrity.

Is there a way to obtain such loss of data with delphi ??
should i migrate to other database ??
or should i upgrade to a newer version of paradox ??

Thank you
Yaron.

If you want insurance against losing records use a database server on a
dedicated machine with a UPS and make a backup at least daily.

You seem to have very accurate record counts. Where did you get that
number 1218, just before starting the rebuild?

Also, was it a multi user environment, which workstation + server operating
system? How about the right BDE settings, Netdir, LocalShare etc?

i can open the table in the Dbd32.exe and look at it i did it only after the
client
told me he lost some records and i recovered the damaged file using
Novell's Salvage. And yes Local share is TRUE and Netdir is Sync in all
stations.

if i opend the table i saw that at record 649 the key got messed up and then
the
rebuild trunc the table.

if you like i can send you the damaged table to look at
