Thanks I saw that link. I was hoping there was some UT Exclusive info about doing it anyway.

Time to make this add to the VFP wish list.

I have two situations where I need this to happen:

1.
VFP EXE running on a Metaframe server. The OS gives every user its own %temp% space for security and to keep individual temp files from stepping on each other. The multiuser nature of Metaframe, as well as the read-only NTFS permissions on the program installation directory, prevent any hardcoding config.fpw changes.

2.
VFP MTDLL running on a few different servers, some with the same OS %temp% directory specified, others not. Hardcoding a place where .tmp's/etc should go is not possible because the %temp& varies from box-to-box, and could change if an admin desires. If a box runs IIS, for example, it will respect the OS %temp% directory and save its droppings no matter where they get shifted for speed reasons.

Hmmm...
