I have never seen this happen. I create and drop temporary tables all day long without a hitch.
Things to try: 1. If it is on one machine, I would try a clean install on another machine to duplicate it. 2. I would r:scope the database. 3. If the database is being used over a network, try it on the local machine. 4. Close all programs on the machine including any Norton utilities/anti-virus programs. 5. Do a scandisk on the computer.

Ok wizards....one of my tables (called archdet2) disapperared. I looked in the system table call SYS_TABLES and I found it...but it had been changed into a view! I tried to change the column called SYS_TABLE_TYPE from VIEW to TABLE, but Rbase would not allow it. So.........what are the TOP TEN REASONS that this might happen? It was easy to fix, but it happens a lot. My database is getting pretty big (about 500 meg for all 4 files). Strangely, it happens to several different tables, but they all have 1 thing in common.....they only store rows temporarily.....they all have zero rows at the end of the day (the app deletes all the rows after the table gets used). These are NOT temporary tables! Any ideas?
