Hello Hal, I can't rule out a user attempting to open the table using Excel, but I believe this is highly unlikely, therefore a good possibility :)
I just recently opened a legacy application using vfp 7, and it is possible that I might have opened the stallions table with this version, although I can not categorically say this is true. The other possibility is a "rude" shutdown of my laptop while the file was open. I have re-set the "Next Value" and all is well, so far...

There are only a few ways that the value can be changed the way it did and most of them are not readily available to the casual user. However, the documentation indicates that exposure of the table to a version of VFP prior to 8 could corrupt the settings. Can you rule out that possibility?
