Mark,
Paradox is famous for corrupt files. I have found over the years that it is
generally an index problem caused by users not shutting programs down
properly or Windows crashing etc. There are various things you can do to
minimise it but I haven't used Paradox since Delphi 2 so maybe others can
give you some tips for later Paradox versions.
A pack/repair utility (quite a few are available) is almost essential to
distribute with your application. This way the user can fix it themselves
(doesn't look good from a user perspective, however they get used to it).
