The debugger should even tell you which table it was, that it was looking for.
To me, it looks like the up button somehow got you out of the dialog and then some line right below was supposed to do something with some table, but you closed all, so it's now looking for one.

IOW, immediately before the getfile(), insert a set step on and, well, see what's going on.
