+1 for what Dan said.
I've got a large network with W2k, WinXPSp3, and Win7Sp2 systems running
against some DBF files on a Linux server and corruption is extreeeemly
rare. Like maybe once in 3 years (and this business is open 7 days a
week, closing only on Thanksgiving and Christmas). Some of the DBFs are
approaching 500MB.

At one time I considered myself an authority on index corruption, but
that was a long time ago. I cannot recall any problems whatsoever
using VFP9 on Vista or Win 7. That includes both stand-alone and File
Server systems.

Hi Desmond,
There are known issues with file based databases like VFP with
Windows from Vista forward. (Well technically I've seen Vista & &
referenced but have no reason to believe that 8 isn't also affected.)
I suggest a little search using something like "file corruption SMB".
Here are some links that I've found useful:
