Hi Eugene,

You may be able to retrieve the location of the Windows temporary directory using GETENV('TEMP'). The best place for VFP's temporary files is, of course, on the local drive. Despite the fact that the documentation doesn't mention a path, you can specify one in your CONFIG.FPW file. If you do (and I do, BTW), it's easier to recognize these for what they are, and, if necessary, know when to delete them.

hth,
