There are four people that log into this Windows 7 computer. Three of the users have passwords and the Administrator does not have a password. (I did not set this computer up) The three users that have passwords are seeing strange behaviour after yesterday's update. vfp9r.dll will not run. They can not open up a password protected Excel spreadsheet. They type in the password and nothing happens. The main user that does not use a password is working 100%.

This sounds like profile corruption. I have seen Windows Update irreversibly corrupt profiles, and I have seen VERY strange stuff happen with corrupt profiles.

Have the Administrator user backup the contents of one of the other user's Favorites, Desktop, and Documents folders, delete that profile, recreate it, and copy the files back. (Possibly also copy stuff from the AppData folder if necessary. Do NOT just backup and restore everything under C:\Users\Public\UserName; you'll copy the corruption to the new profile.) Add the new profile to the Administrators group. I bet the problem is magically solved for that user.
