Less than 24 hours after speaking to the server guys, the server failed with hard drive errors. At this point they said the monitoring software on the network had been warning of impending doom for some time but they'd done nothing about it except blaming the software.
Thought I'd share that just in case anybody else gets the same. -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Graham Brown Sent: 14 January 2014 11:45 To: ProFox Email List Subject: RE: Invalid seek offset Thanks. Very interesting, I've asked the network techs to check this out. I'll report back later. Graham, I think this link was posted on here recently. If not then I apologise but M$ seem to have found a resolution for network shares dropping out intermittently, which as Christof says is one cause of the error: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297684 Dave -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Graham Brown Sent: 14 January 2014 10:50 To: ProFox Email List Subject: RE: Invalid seek offset Thanks Dave I'll grab the codemine data folder later and rebuild it. Have you found any way to monitor the network for timeouts? I think this network has issues because I know when I try to copy new exes on it will tell me the file is in use, the server open files shows the exe as being open several times on each pc (single instance exe so isn't possible) and when I check these pcs they are switched off. The hardware guys don't understand or don't want to understand so don't bother investigating. Only this one site reporting reporting problems. All very strange. Graham, Usually index corruption or a corruption of the DBF header. Normally copying the data to a new table then zapping and appending back cures the problem. The cause of the corruption I most often found was network timeouts caused by cheap network cards or switches.

The app is vfp8/codemine8 with a SQL 2005 database. I'm just trying to pin it down to see if it is antivirus or power saving etc. Also asked the hardware guys to see if anything appears in any of the log files. Has anyone come across a definitive reason for this error?
