I have a VFP7 application that resides on a network server. Users have a desktop icon that points to the executable and runtimes.

The application is also accessible through a Citrix metaframe client which means that someone can run the application without access to a local drive.

There are numerous instances in the application where the user creates temporary tables. Even though there is a small performance penalty, I want to ensure that an individual's temporary cursors never occur in the same folder as another users. All users (both networked and Citrix) users have access to a private network share of "H:\TMP". I would like to set this as the default temporary file path for my application. I have the TMPFILES="H:\TMP" statement in the config.fpw file on the server, but I'm not sure that it's really working for all workstations.

Is there a way to specify the TMPFILES path in code? I've searched the VFP docs and tried a bunch of things (all with various syntax errors).

TIA
Stephen Land
