texte = This type of thing has happened to us as well -- for a while. We finally determined it had to be lack of disk space. We go in, clear away some log files and emails and it works fine (until it happens again a couple of months later). You're lucky if you haven't lost any data because this sometimes does happen with us -- not that often but it has happened. The last few hundred records will just be gone because WebCat stopped right in the middle of it writing to the database. Anyway, I hope this helps.

Many of my other dbs are in merge format. I'm almost certain that all the fields in the .hdrs match the fields in the .dbs ('cause the dbs wouldn't work at all if the fields didn't match), but I guess I'll check again . Does anyone have any caveats on using hdr files vs. embedding the field names in the dbs? Thanks.
