Something is corrupting your database: I have never seen that error and I've been using those DBs for a while. Check that you have enough space for the file - are you running out of memory / file system space, and masking the exception when you insert or update? Try changing the file name: is something else corrupting the file?

It's not possible to be specific about a problem like this, but those are the basics I would start with.

Check the free space wherever you are saving the SDF file - you may not have enough spare.

Most certainly a corruption. EOF? In database? Corruption. My 5.
