Got any Windows 7 workstations on that network? Because this sounds to
me like a recognised index corruption problem with SMB2.1 and Visual
FoxPro.

SMB2.1 being the new version of Microsoft's network transport - if a
Vista or 7 box is connected to a Windows Server 2008, they will use
SMB2.1 by default, but unfortunately this causes index corruption. So
you either have to turn off SMB2.1 on the client or the server. 

This link describes the problem and the registry entries:

This is pretty worrying because at the minute you can force it back to
SMB1 as described above, but what's to stop MS removing legacy SMB
compatibility somewhere down the line? Then you can forget about VFP
apps on Server 2008 / Win 7 networks.
