Hi
The .ndx files are related to dBASE II - III - IV - dBFast, but as for the .fic files, I've never heard of them; they might be specific to this program.

Hello,
We are using a software for procurement, inventory, and sales developed with WinDEV, with data files (closed database) on a network.
The problem is that the .FIC files are often corrupted in the following ways:
1-) significant data loss
2-) data corruption (substitution of characters with random data, very often including data related to the software environment)
3-) addition of bogus records containing such parameter data instead of user data.
After numerous complaints, the designer is requiring us to have uninterruptible power supplies for each workstation and each switch (which has been done), and then he mentions virus infections.
I would like to know if this is true and by which virus or other trojan or malware.
Thank you for the information, ladies and gentlemen.
Best regards.

Hi,
I had this kind of problem when exchanging FIc Ndx files between applications,
the issue came from the limited size of attachments (the Fic Ndx were sent via email).
Increasing the size of the attachments solved the problem for a while...
Here's what I did:
1) I stopped transferring the database from PC to PC
2) I created a routine to update the Fic Ndx files from a text file containing the update information.
Again, this solution only worked for a while...
So I redid everything in Qt / C++ with a MySQL database.
I believe there is a software called DataManager that allows you to export your Fic Ndx files to SQL scripts.
What I took away from this experience with Windev:
applications are very quick to develop but there are serious issues:
when the volumes of fic ndx become too large.
the applications are heavy
a whole army of DLLs is necessary for a simple program....
Good luck,
PS: it’s never too late to restart an application with good foundations,
especially if, like me, using the apps is becoming increasingly difficult...

Thank you for your helpful message, but I am not the author of this specific message.
However, I was asking the question about the possibility that .FIC data files (WinDEV) could be infected: which would result in losing a very large number of records, alterations to the content of the records, and the addition of unjustified rogue entries.
Note: the characters that are embedded are special characters, parameters from the Windows environment or the software itself.
The provider claimed that this is due to power drops or outages (which does indeed affect the operation of hubs or switches), but once that issue is resolved, they blame viruses, then the malfunction of Windows, and who knows what other explanation they will come up with!
I just want to be definitively clarified on this possibility of .FIC data files being infected by a virus or any other kind of malware (trojans, worms...).
Thank you once again for your kindness.
