In VFP7 and VFP8, if I run sys(2023) on my pc, it returns the VFP temporary folder of c:\foxpro\vfp8\tmp (which I have setup in my config.fpw file using: TMPFILES=C:\FOXPRO\vfp8\TMP\), however, using Anatoly's code it returns the OS environment setting of 'temp' (from SET TEMP=) location of c:\temp (which I setup using environment variables settings under my computer...and is typically c:\windows\temp or c:\documents and settings\< profile >\...)
