Is the application begin run under different user accounts? The reason I ask is that I had a similar problem until I started creating all temp files in the users' temp folder. The other option is to create a method in your application object that creates the temp file name. The global method would test to see if the file already exists and if so, go into a loop until a unique name is created. I say a global method just to have a single place to modify the code in the future. Another option that I have seen (but not used) is to prefix the temp file name with the user account (userid).

hope this helps.
