Hi Trevor,

Have I correctly understand that as "corruption" you mean problem
        " Minor problem: exists 17 orphan segments"
?

Well, this is NOT fatal problem absolutely!
Database still is alive and can work.


- How you can use this?

For example you have

    fldBLOB.WriteRecord( data )
    
    tbl.AddRecord()     << - but this line was not executed.

May be because of error in other field, may be because you have
some if() around AddRecord.
