Well I guess you should confirm the user rights for "c:\docume~~\user~~~\temp" on the malfunctioning PCs.

But I more strongly suspect that the name given to the .tmp file is the root of the problem. Any file name starting with a numeric will NOT have its name become the alias for the file - VFP will make one up and use that.

Also, since you've already found a problem in configuration differences causing inconsistent application behaviour, I would look a little deeper in that area too.

good luck
