Is this another VFP app? If so, and you haven't taken steps to point the temporary file directory to somewhere you can both read and write, you're probably getting caught by the default behavior for a VFP executable with no instructions about where to plqce its working files. VFP defaults to using the directory where the executable is. Try adding a CONFIG.FPW with the line TMPFILES = C:\TEMP, and make sure that this directory exists before the app starts. If there is no FOXUSER file in the CD directory, and CONFIG.FPW does contain RESOURCE=OFF, that'll make a VFP app fail, too, since it will try to make a new FOXUSER.DBF and .FPT otherwise.
