>I have a form where I return the results of queries into several temporary files. I am using the sys(3) function to get the names for these. After upgrading to VisFox 6 I have several users who are having problems with duplicate file names. I have even put timing loops in between the sys(3) statements with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions how to get the unique file name function to return unique file names?

Hi Jeff,

The docs on SYS(3) say that on fast machines it may not work. It recommends "Use SUBSTR(SYS(2015), 3, 10) to create unique, legal eight character file name."
