Under some conditions blank records may be
appended to dBase files. This will occur when Citect tries to
append a new record to a database that contains an index and the
index is locked. Citect will append the blank record to the
database, but cannot update the index file, so the append will fail
- and Citect will not put the data into the record. When this
occurs, the DevAppend() function will return an error code to tell
you it has failed.
This problem is unlikely to occur under normal conditions. It is
more likely to occur with slow network file locking (Windows for
Workgroups) and only if the dBase file has an index.
