1. BUG:

     In vfp9 (and vfp6, vfp7, vfp8), somtimes the open table file command runs failed on Windows Vista or later.


2. CAUSE:

     There are some compatible problems when the open table file command calls the CreateFileA Windows API
     for the Windows Defender program or the antivirus programs.
     Now if the open table file command calls the CreateFileA Windows API failed,
     it will call the CreateFileA Windows API many times again.

     There are some BUGs in the following code.


3. RESOLUTION:

     We can write some code to fix the BUG.
