>>When I have a bug and my application tries to execute a command against a table, bute no table is open in the current select area, VFP shows the open file dialog. This is a big security hole I would like to avoid. I would just want the command to raise an error (as it does if the user doesn't pick a file). If inside a try/catch, it should fall to the catch block.
