When a table is called to be opened, and it suddenly does not exist, VFP attempts to "Help" the user by presenting a useless file open dialog that neither explains what file it is looking for nor where in the program execution it encountered this error.

It's a logical error - the programmers responsibility - not VFP's and not the users. Advice- Test before we deliver.
