>Thanks. It looks like you are using Crystal as an automation server. I am using the Crystal component that ships with Visual Studio 6 which is an OCX. Here is my code which works fine to print the report file, but generates a 'File Access Denied' error when attempting to delete the temp data file after the report is printed. It's strange because at that point, the crystal object has been released and I issue a 'CLOSE DATA ALL' just to be safe. If I shut down VFP, I can then delete the temp file. By the way, I am using temp data files since the VFP automation server is going to be called from ASP pages and there may be several users running this report simultaneously with different data sets.

What happens if you do loReport = NULL instead of RELEASE loReport?
