Hi Alan:

I've read something about this problem on various sites/forums. I've made a

quick search of "Windows Server 2012 R2 vfp data corruption" and found some

interesting info talking about opportunistic locking and smb2 (there are

some of the same topic about Server 2008 R2 too):

A very Interesting white paper

Someone even mention antivirus interferences

Another search on the topic "Windows Server 2012 R2 file share data

corruption" shows more corruption errors on other VFP-like tools, as MS

Access:

Apparently, disabling SMB2/3 can resolve the problem for some people.

Best regards!
