Hi, Lou

I think you may well find that write caching on the server is the 
culprit.  What usually gets lost (actually truncated) is the .sct file 
for the form.  That's because the write caching thinks it's the other 
Windows .sct file (I forget what it is) and somehow saves it differently 
so it loses most of the text.

My experience with VFP is that you NEVER want write caching enabled on 
the machine where the programs/data live.  And I don't think VFP9 acts 
any different than 7 or 8 in that regard.
