>>I am running some tests involving large datasets using VFP as a front end to SQL Server. I'm using remote views and the generated temp files are too large for the local drives on the development machine (its a laptop with about a gig of free space, I would have to delete Half Life to get any more space and thats NOT an option :)).

>>When I run my tests, I go to Tools Options and set my temporary files folder to an NT server with lots of drive space. This works fine. But I only want to do this when I'm testing so I go back and reset it to my local drive after I finish. Anyone know where the setting is kept so I can write a prg file to set/reset it on the fly? I assume it must be a reg key since it doesn't appear as a system variable when I disp memo. Thanks.

Thanks.
