When to run 4D Tools
4D Tools is a utility used to maintain and repair FirePoint data file problems. All databases require maintenance. Like hard drives, data storage files can become fragmented. 4D Tools defragments and repairs your data files.
4D Tools should be run as normal maintenance about 4 times a year. Complete instructions for 4D Tools may be found on our web site:

If your FirePoint single-user or server PC experiences a sudden power interruption some data file damage can result, especially if you were saving a FirePoint record when the power failure occurred. Run 4D Tools to locate and repair problems, as necessary.
