Here is a little problem with dbase files we have.
We can't get to a couple of fields in one of the records.
When in edit mode, the cursor would jump(skip) over the
fields. We can solve the problem by deleting that particular
record and packing the database.

Is this cause by corruption when people reboot the machine
while the database is open? What happens when people do
this intentionally or unintentionally. What is
the solution people out there in the net is using? 

We have multi-user applications running on a Novell 286 2.15 
network in using foxbase.

-Thanks
Anthony Tieu
