When to run a file maintenance

This utility program can repair corrupted files. Files can get corrupted for the following reasons:

- When there was a power failure, dip or spike.

- The computer was switched off while Microvet was still open.

- When the computer hangs.

- When you get a message ‘Index does not match the table, please re-index immediately’.

In many cases this problem can be avoided if you attach an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to the computer. This device will give you a certain amount of time to switch off the computer in the case of a power failure and will safeguard the computer against power spikes or dips.
