Hi Bob,

If you have TMPFILES option in config.fpw than SYS(2023) and GETENV('TEMP') could return different results. See http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~TmpFiles~VFP for details.


>Usually I use SYS(2023) to get the temp folder path and that is reliable regardless of the OS and user profile settings. However, a smiliar result could be obtained by getenv('temp') command whose remarks section in the online help says:
>*********************************
>Remarks
>Two environment variables are always available: COMSPEC and PATH. You can create your own environment variables with the MS-DOS SET command.

>My Question: are there any circumstances under which GETENV('TEMP') will return empty strings or incorrect results?
