Hi SB,

If I issue SYS(2023) I can see the current temporary files setting which matches the setting under Tools menu - Options - File locations tab - Temporary files. If I then change this setting (using the Options dialog) and re-issue SYS(2023) it shows the new temporary files folder setting. It would therefore appear that there is a way to change the temporary file folders from within VFP and possibly from within an exe. Do you know what this function is? I have looked but cannot find it. This may help Dale dynamically set temporary folders.


>If you dont specify TMPFILES in condig.fpw VFP will use directory that OS TEMP environment variable points to.

I ran into a problem at a customer site where it VFP ran out of diskspace on C drive, but E (where my program runs) had 10GB left. So really the TMPFILES need to be on E drive.
