>>>Thanks, Barbara. So, in theory, one could test for the existence of a TMPFILES directory on app startup. If it doesn't exist, MD the thing. On next startup, that directory would be used. I think?

It's too late to check for once VFP starts; you need a non-VFP component, such as a launcher, to check for and if necessary create the TMPFILES directory - VFP will attempt to use the TMPFILES directory immediately on startup.
