I have a VFP COM MTDLL that every-so-often get's it's SYS(2023) -TMPFILES folder goofed-up. Basically I do the following:
CREATE CURSOR (SomeCursorName) (SomeFieldName C(15))
INDEX ON SomeFieldName TAG SomeTagName

About every 6-8 hits the system errors on the INDEX ON line with error number 202 "Invalid path or file name.".

Here's the details in the error I have found:


SYS(2023) = "PLICATION\DATA"
DBF("SomeCursorName") = "C:\DEV\APPLICATION\PLICATION\DATA\1PDW00V7.TMP"


If the error does not occur here's the same information (except the .tmp file name would be different):

SYS(2023) = "C:\DEV\APPLICATION\CACHE"
DBF("SomeCursorName") = "C:\DEV\APPLICATION\CACHE\1PDW00V7.TMP"


The most interesting thing here is the complete jack-up of the SYS(2023) value! Somehow, VFP is getting a bad value in it's TMPFILES location, if appears to be a mix of CURDIR() and SET('PATH') as my CURDIR() would be C:\DEV\APPLICATION and one of the paths is "DATA\".
Anyone have any idea on this one?
