Following on from this, we have discovered this setup is using a shared cluster disc? Could this be having any effect? We have moved the data from the VM's onto an existing physical server (the doman controller) and all the issues have gone away.

I am sure the Anti Virus which had been ruled out as the cause (Sophos) has been reinstalled and disables Defender, but it's a good heads up and I will double check.
Thanks Fred

We recently upgraded to a new server box from running Windows Server 2008 (3 VM's) to Windows Server 2019 (running 6 VM's). Most of the VM's have access to FoxPro data and function without incident.
Have you made sure that Windows Defender has also been set to ignore .DBF/.CDX/.FPT files on both the servers and the workstations?

We are seeing increasing problems with VFP applications (some of our own and other commercial ones) as our customers have their servers upgraded.
A lot of these servers are now virtual machines hosted on a physical machine. In some instances these are remote desktop servers which access the VFP data from a different server.
The file access issues seem to be random, in some instances the indexes get corrupted and need to be repaired.
Anti Virus has been ruled out by uninstalling it, but the problems persist.
Any ideas? Any issues with VFP data and VM's?
