Hi Michael, I'm the only one in the company with the vfp development software installed.
Although, my laptop has been flaky recently, shutting down unannounced (we're sure it's not a "virus", more likely a heat/motherboard issue, I'm replacing it today actually), and it could be a cause for my earlier corrupted table, and now a funky "Next Value" setting...

I use the AutoInc fields and they've continued to work fine for me. If you're using any Views, make sure the AutoInc field is NOT updatable! Perhaps that's it? Also, Pablo's post is good too---is there any chance of someone else opening your tables via VFP or perhaps even something else? You might want to put something in place (like the DBC Events?) to prevent unauthorizing openings of your VFP tables. -- Michael J.
