SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Visual FoxPro OLE DB Provider raises the following error message during moderate to heavy multi-user load:

error 2066 (Index file is corrupt. Please rebuild it.)



CAUSE
This error indicates that the index tag is corrupted. During multi-user load this error can occur but may not be valid. This behavior occurs when the table has been updated by a user. Because the 5-second refresh interval has not expired, the index in memory on the other client computer is not current. The other client computer recognizes this condition and the error is raised.



WORKAROUND
A user can work around this problem by calling the sys(1104) function or by setting the refresh interval to 1,1 in Visual FoxPro on the client computer. These options are not available from the Visual FoxPro OLE DB Provider.
