Funny you should mention this; this started to happen to us also lately. We use
both Mac EndNote and DOS EndNote. It is the DOS version which is creating (?;
experiencing ?) file corruptions. This is an EndNote executable which is on a
fileserver, together with our master database (Only one user has actual access
to both the program AND the master database -- he is responsible for our system
of reprint files); we have as yet not the faintest idea why, and under what
circumstances files are getting corrupted. The one thing I do know is that when
the file gets corrupted, completely empty records get inserted; these are the
ones the application crashes on, when trying to access them. FYI, our database
is currently some 2000 references large (small :-) ). Maybe Avi can shed some
light on this one?
