Hi, Ed!

>>
IOW, a launcher; once TMPFILES is assigned, you need to start a new instance of VFP to reassign the TMPFILES directory. The odds are that writing a launcher in a non-VFP scripting language such as VBScript or JScript will have a significantly smaller footprint than even a 'small' VFP app, and will be less sensitive to things like getting started from a CD with the default drive also on CD. Using a non-VFP component allows you to do many things that might fail if, for example, a VFP app launched before rebooting the system if one of the running component DLLs might need updating.

Ok! Ok! Ok! You're right <s>!
But what I mean was: It isn't impossible to do that job using VFP <g>!
