You can log FOPEN to some text files. Unfortunately you must put the first 3 lines everywhere you have FOPEN, or if you use some global header file put them in it:

IF _VFP.StartMode == 0
#define FOPEN FOPENEX
ENDIF

? FOPEN("d:\all_zapl\path.ini",12)


FUNCTION FOPENEX(lcFileName, lnMode)
  LOCAL lnHandle
  lnMode = IIF(TYPE("lnMode") # "N",0,lnMode)
  lnHandle = FOPE(lcFileName, lnMode) && Don't put the full name of FOPEN here
  STRTOFILE(lcFileName+"~"+TRANSFORM(lnHandle),"d:\openedhandles.txt")
RETURN lnHandle
