A client of mine has just moved over from Netware 4 to Netware 6 and we have noticed a strange effect that never happened under the 'old' os. Using FPD 2.6 (the problem doesn't occur with VFP), whenever I do a COPY TO command (programmatically or at the command line) to create another table, the .dbf file is created fine, but so is a temporary file in the format VDMnnn.tmp, where nnn is a hexadecimal number and is incremented by 1 for each subsequent file. The .tmp file has 0 bytes, is created in the same folder as the table it is copying (instead of the default temp. folder) and is not deleted when Foxpro is finished.

Has anyone any idea what may be going on here, and more importantly, how to get rid of these rogue files (apart from having to run a regular del *.tmp batch file)?

Any help would be appreciated. These .tmp files are cluttering up the data directories fast!

TIA
