Mike, My experience is even with battery backups, when multiple users access the tables corruption of the indexes occur causing grief. In critical places where the index is required, I will open tables exclusive and reindex before processing to attempt to avoid the pitfalls of users not correcting this. However, there is usually a call or two a month from users having corrupt indexes.
