If you think 73 errors is a lot, I would not worry. Most errors will probably appear only under very specific circumstances, and may never affect you.

Also, my own application (or that of any other programmer, that does a major system) will probably have a large number of bugs - if somebody took the trouble to investigate. Many of the bugs in my system may never appear, mainly because few people use the system, because it is used in a limited number of different environments, etc.

VFP is a well-known product, many people use it, under different environments - and therefore, simply, more errors are known.
