I like the idea about deleting the files on Startup rather than Shutdown. I get the distinct feeling that we're missing something. Do we really have to clean up after VFP?? My TMP files are being created by VFP for a CURSOR. When the cursor is closed, the temp files SHOULD disappear... Not the case. Is this a bug in VFP?
