If it's on a mapped drive, some versions of Windows 10 were known to "poll" mapped drives, with intermittent disconnection potentially affecting anything with files on that drive, including MS Word etc if the .doc is on the mapped drive. However, you'd expect a generic file access error rather than an internal VFP access error.

Usually the function succeeds a split second later on try 2 or 3. Perhaps this is another symptom of the same issue- though again you'd expect a generic file access error.

Thank you. I don't know if there is a virus scanner. The fact is that only one or two stations seem to get more errors. I will implement a Try Catch with a loop to try reading the file on the 2nd/3rd time. If fails, then I can "gracefully" close the application.
