This simple program will give an error message if opening a table fails, and if you don't have an error handler active. Nothing advanced, I wrote this program in a few minutes to comply with your wish.

lparameters tcDir , tcSkeleton
if empty(tcDir)
   tcDir = 'data'
endif
if empty(tcSkeleton)
   tcSkeleton = '*.dbf'
Endif
tcSkeleton = forcepath(tcSkeleton,tcDir)
llFirst = .T.
clear
do while .t.
   if llFirst
      lcFile = sys(2000, tcSkeleton)
      llFirst = .F.
   else
      lcFile = sys(2000, tcSkeleton, 1)
   endif   
   if !empty(lcFIle)
      lcFile = forcepath(lcFile, tcDir)
      use (lcFile)
      ?lcFile
   else
      exit
   Endif
Enddo

Please note that I am not sure that an index corruption will always raise an error.
