I'd probably write a collection class which would give you a random filename in the least busy location, and then it'd be a matter of telling it to remove a file from the collection once I don't need it. Removing would also kill the physical file and any associated indexes and/or memo files.

Yupp, but this should be on a process level (think errors and debugging, so loacated in _screen) and has a few kinks in it. What I have is definately not releasable. As most of the work already exists for cursors, it is reinventing at least 3/4 of the wheel. But this was turned down as a worthwhile addition - as no more money comes from updates, I can't argue with it <g>.
