Just a few:
11 line25 lcFile=upper(tcfile) close allaliasses
107 37 if dbc(lcTable)==lczfile or lcTable==lcFile allaliasses
13 493 if lnFieldRecno<=reccount('field') click frmTD.cmdOK

etc.

I assume the very first is the actual problem and the numerous others are just caused by the first one.

I recreated the dbc and will make sure I always have a good mpty dbc/dbf set available and uptodate
