RE: 2 versions sharing same databases, one says it's corrupt, the other fine

Michael,

By default VFP9 validates the table header of every table when it is opened. This is a real pain if you don't spot it in multi-user situations as it locks the table to others whilst in process. Use the "set tablevalidate off" command to disable it.

Subject: 2 versions sharing same databases, one says it's corrupt, the other fine

I have a system with two versions of the same software running, which are almost identical.

I have a Foxpro 2.6 program and a VFP 9.0 program. 

 The VFP reports a corrupt tag, the 2.6 doesn't.   Has anyone seen this before?

It's no big deal since I just recreate the index, but it is curious.   Is there better error checking in VFP 9.0?
