>Yes. I might mention that I am coming back to vfp after not having used it much for a while. I can't think of anything in my environment that has changed lately.

Hi Bret,

I've seen this before - check to see if your temp directory has been marked as a system directory. [right click on it and look at properties].

If it has, try using the following at a dos/command prompt:

attrib c:\temp -S

replacing c:\temp with your temporary directory.

Best.

Matt.
