Hi Edgar,

How are you? I suspect that your Windows folder is Read-Only, and FoxPro is trying to write the Temp files to the Windows folder. If you have a Config.fpw file in your Visual FoxPro folder where the VFP.EXE is located (or this is an EXE you have built), add the following commands to it (the Config.fpw file is just a text file with a FPW extension).

TMPFILES=C:\TEMP
SORTWORK=C:\TEMP
PROGWORK=C:\TEMP
EDITWORK=C:\TEMP

Make sure that you have a C:\TEMP folder (or whatever you want to name it), and it would also be good to set your Windows TMP and TEMP variables to this folder also. You can do this by right clicking on "My Computer", clicking on the Advanced tab, and selecting the Environment Variables button and setting the TMP and TEMP variables to this folder.

Sincerely,

Grant Suddreth
