Something tried to read or write to a NULL POINTER. This is an error in binary code; it's doubtful that a consistent process inside the interpretive environment can repeatedly and directly cause this. It's likely to be sloppy programmer time at MS, or one of the third party pieces that your VFP app talks to directly - someone allocated memory, got a null pointer back, didn't trap the error and just used the returned null. AKA Sloppy C programmer trick
