I have a simple table I use for logging, it keeps getting corrupted what would be the most common reasons for

1. programmer error
2. turning the pc off with the table open and its buffers not flushed

The most likely one is poor implementation of threading. But your best approach is to post the code for an example that causes the problem into the binaries then we (including Tim) can have a look at it.

Randy,

<< what kind of programmers errors would do this. >>

What Roy said in his second message is correct - multi-threading issues are
the only possible cause for programmer-induced corruption.  Anything else is
either down to an improper shutdown or reset, or an issue with EDB itself.
