It was often the same tables. But in every case, one letter would have been replaced by another letter, 16 positions earlier in the alphabet. We figured out there was a bad pin in a network connector, and one bit was occasionally being dropped. The RB1 file was being overwritten and corrupted by one particular user when he was the last user out, with catastrophic impact on the next person who tried to SELECT something from that table name.

If it is, then it is hard to make a case that it's something hardware or network related... Karen
