Richard: That is the first thing I did. I use Stonefield and it did not correct the problem. I don't know why and even if it was table corruption. It was a very strange problem. After the file was packed it still had one deleted record. I could USE the file and browse it just fine. I did a pack from the command window and that solved the problem.

Thanks,

Jeff

For future ref that sounds like potential table corruption. A DBF repair

Subject: Re: Buffer Overrun - Solved!

Why me???  It ended up being a deleted record in a file that my application 
believed was just packed. The table was closed, used exclusive, packed and 
there was still a deleted record in it.  I don't know where in the above 
sequence it was getting the buffer overrun, but packing the file externally did 
the trick and we are up and running.  I seem to get a lot of these!  And that 
is why I appreciate Ed providing this resource and all of you for your help!

Thank you all so much!

Jeff
