corruption cases ?

Thanks

If you open the DBF readonly then the indices are also opened readonly.
You CANNOT update any DBF/INDEX if it's open readonly - so there is no chance of
corruption.

IIRC if you try you'll end up at the DOS prompt (if you don't have an error
handler in place that is<g> )

Thanks Steve, I think that's the right answer.
The same application on the some places reports index corruption on about
one or two ws. On the other places everything is OK. I'll try with
opening DBF's via READONLY on every place in program that does not changes
DBF.

You won't be able create new or temporary indices if you open DBFs readonly
either.

did you allways open DBF with all Index files ?
did your Index file have the same Date/Time stamp ?

Try linking in CPMI.LIB
Is your file handle sufficient?. FILES=125
