You can select into a cursor instead of a table. Once you close the cursor, VFP will automatically clean up the temp file the data was placed in.

I would create a custom report form to be used with your report. You can then design it to look exactly as you want. The custom report form can then be included in the EXE or APP and you don't have to worry about it being cleaned up.

Others will probably have more options to give you more food for thought.
