                      [BUG/PRB.] VFP 9.0 FIX - THE STRTOFILE() FUNCTION USES THE WINDOWS SYSTEM CACHE

1. BUG:

     In vfp9 (and vfp6, vfp7, vfp8), somtimes the STRTOFILE() function runs failed on Windows Vista or later.


2. CAUSE:

     There are some compatible problems when the STRTOFILE() function calls the CreateFileA Windows API
     for the Windows Defender program or the antivirus programs.
     Now if the STRTOFILE() function calls the CreateFileA Windows API failed,
     it will call the CreateFileA Windows API 3 times again.

     There are some BUGs in the following code.


3. RESOLUTION:

     We can write some code to fix the BUG.
