A few of our clients are getting an obscure error when running reports. While the report is running and being prepared for preview, a dialog pops up prompting the user to find a table/DBF. When the user presses Cancel, the dialog may or may not pop up again multiple times. Eventually, the user receives this error:

File 'm_4nl0nroh6.dbf' does not exist.
The metadata for some report definition rows could not be loaded.
Some dynamic report features may be missing, or a report could not conclude successfully.

Three of our clients are running into this now. The only common theme is that the clients either bought new machines with Windows 7 or upgraded to Windows 10. One of the clients inadvertently upgraded to Windows 10 and then started seeing the issue. We tested the issue with the Primo PDF driver, and the error still occurred. So, it doesn't seem to be tied to a specific printer driver.

We use XFRX, so I asked them if they have seen this error before. Their response:

This is not error message from XFRX, but (IMHO) from reportlistener class (_reportlistener.vcx) or from VFP. Some operation close internal cursor for reportlistener.

I agree with their assessment, but it doesn't help me solve it. Has anyone else encountered this issue?
