JD>Try a commit (or dbcommit) after the append.
     For testing reasons you may want to try this
     replace dbappend with  the following code
     dbgobottom()
     dbskip()
     
     If you still get the error the problem is most likely somewhere in 
the enviorment. As a way arround it until you find the problem you could 
try this. I do not recommend using it for long but it is a temporary way 
around the mountain while you get some dynomite. Cteate a loop in which 
the dbappend occurs insert a local variable and give it the value of 0 
or 1 then every time the program does a dbappend() add one to the number 
and set it up so that when it gets up to 3 or 4 it will rebuild the 
index and then shoot to the append. As I said this is not a solution it 
is only a way around the problem until you find the mix up and fix it.
