How much do I need to worry about this?

The problem happens when I have a syntax error in the table and occurs 
no matter which machine I use in the office.  I checked the log on Samba 
and it seems to be opening and closing the files as necessary and isn't 
complaining about anything.
I also tried copying all the files from the file server onto my own 
machine and set PFDSK to the local disk and I still got the problem.  
This should have eliminated any memory problems (wouldn't duplicate on 
other machines) and the server (I'm running the programs off the local 
disk).

This couldn't be the problem as I can make it do this even if the only 
line in the table is a lookup with a syntax error.

One thing more....I'm seeing the following on the screen right after the 
error window pops up:

Exception error -1073741819 in process failed 0(0x00000000)
comspec="(null)"
command="\fpro\fp\rcabe
         "
Press Enter:
