Neil,

>It's at this point where 2 of the 10 valid modules do not open up the table in SQL Server, but do open up in Foxpro.

Trying to get past the obvious to the obscure...

What happens if you temporarily remove the "good" module references so the startup routine has to load only the 2 modules that currently fail? Does AR load OK now in your startup routine? What if it is the only module listed for your startup routine to load -- OK?
