I guess you crashed the form at some stage and the .scx/sct table was left open somewhere hence not being able to open it. The open file could also be in another instance of VFP which isn't displayed because it has gone rogue at some stage and doesn't present a visual interface.
I have had this happen quite frequently when testing tricky code especially when using office automation. The "stranded" instances of VFP or office apps can be seen in the task manager and closed accordingly.
