>>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?
