Fortunately you can rule out file corruption for 99% of the cases where 
it's suspected:

Reducing the range of possible causes of a problem will help you 
discover the true cause more quickly.

Corruption is not impossible with any file format, but for the reasons 
described in those posts it's exremely rare with Rev, certainly orders 
of magnitude more frequent in any other xTalk or even FileMaker Pro.
