As far as I can see, Erich is right. I put in error messages in my server
and workstations recently to make sure I know if the databases have been
corrupted. This works fine on Macintosh. I assumed that if the database was
coming up with an error that it would mean it was corrupt. Without VAPP on
windows it is difficult to check. Once I took these error checks out, the
database appears to be working much better. Strangely enough, before I took
the checks out, it was bringing up a varchar error when adding to a database
that has no varchar fields!!!

It appears to me that the database has a definite messaging error for
varchar, particularly on windows, when there isn't actually an error. I
could probably have done without this as I have spent four days on working
on an issue that may not have been as bad as I thought it was.

By the way, I am a she, not a he.
