You have to build up a level of trust with whatever editor you are using to 
edit and 
save your code. Vim has never failed me.

With VFP, you are using the editor inside the class or form designer, and the 
underlying data structure unfortunately isn't a plain-text file but a DBF. And 
VFP 
organizes this DBF in sometimes magical and complex ways. So it is actually 
pretty 
amazing that more corruption problems don't happen.

But for ultimate reliability, plain text is definitely your friend. Easier on 
source 
control, too.

My money is on Jack's SCX dbf being corrupted, and VFP didn't notice.
