RE: Windows XP and VFP 8.0

Hi Yorch:

This error message is not a VFP error. This looks like an error is being
trapped by the developer with an ON ERROR routine and then he displays a
user friendly message.

Have you contacted the developer to ask him what might prompt this error?

One thing I can think of is anti virus. Have you prevent your anti virus
software from scanning VFP data file? Here is an article that provides
info on this topic. Anti virus might also explain when you application run
so slowly from a Windows XP machine.
