Hello all.

I have written a piece of software that processes orders for my company,
amongst other things. I use 8 tables.

2 of my tables are Paradox tables, the rest are DBase tables. I am having
trouble with the most important table - a Paradox table which contain
important information regarding order which the company receives and hence
manufactures. The program and tables were functioning perfectly for around
two weeks. All of a sudden I am presented with an error message 'Corrupt
table/index header' when I try to view the table in Database Desktop - and
occasionally it wont let me even view the table.

I first noticed that when I was inserting records into the dataset, its size
was not increasing, simply deleting the first record when inserting a 'last
' record. When I do manage to view the table in Database Desktop, a series
of 'dots' appear in a vertical line instead of field values - amongst other
strange happenings. I am using XP, and the software/tables are not shared
over a network.

Does anyone have any idea why my table should repetitively becoming
corrupt??

Any help would be much appreciated!

John
