I think others have answered the question, but just to summarize,
VPlus keeps track of field number, and field location on the
screen. These start out as the same numbers, but as you move
fields, and insert and delete other fields, these numbers will
start to differ. That allows you some flexibility to change
your screen around without having to change you program. When
this happens, this is not file corruption.
Since copying and recreating the form fixes the problem, that
says that you are requiring the numbers to be the same, or in
other words, you are using the field location number when you
want to be using the field number.
It's actually all working as it is supposed to, but perhaps
not the way you would want it to.
Hope that makes it better or at least not worse,

I don't KNOW anything about it, but I have run into it and took it for
some sort of file corruption/bug in VPLUS. I've just done what you
mentioned and that always fixed the problem. Haven't had that
particular problem in a long time (that I know of).
