>When the file "V_WO_NUM" is physically written to disk (as "V_WO_NUM.tmp", no, as i.e."000084QX000A.TMP"), since it becomes too big to be kept just in memory, you got the error since the user doesn't have permission to write in the Temp folder you selected in your config.fpw file.

>TMPFILES=c:\temp

>PROGWORK=c:\temp
>SORTWORK=c:\temp

>be shure that the user has full permission on c:\temp; or just delete those statements, so files are created in Windows Temp directory.

Very interesting theory. I wonder how I can 'simulate' this on my computer. Thank you!
