I have seen this often and it seems that filePro was designed to keep 
track of open and close tags and try to insure that you have done it 
correctly.  I found it would insert tags for closing when it thought it 
was appropriate.  For example,

If I created the following:

<table>
<tr>
<td>
junk here
</tr>
</table>
It would notice that I missed the </td> tag and it would give an error 
such as yours or it would insert it.  I found that very difficult to 
trouble shoot when it added things by itself.

Your solution bypasses the logic and will return control to you.  I 
found that preferable.  I did control it better by setting a global 
variable whenever I opened a tag type and then unset it when I closed 
it.  So I would have a variable called MYTABLE and it would be set to 
open and then cleared when I issued the close table command.  It did 
that for all the large loops that happened as a course of the 
programming.  That seemed to help.
