Folks,

I'm having trouble at one of my client sites. When they run our foxpro application, for some reason, there are a number of *.TMP files that get created in the runtime directory of the application. And, for some reason, after a while (after a couple thousand of these files get created) PACK statements start failing, and the only recourse is to either suggest that the user smoke these files or re-install the applciation.

Questions:
a) What are these .tmp file (I'm assuming it's how foxpro handles its cursors) - has to create a file of some-sort.
b) Why are they getting created in the run-time directory
c) Is there any way to get rid of these files? Or, to configure foxpro in such a way that it looks after it's own garbage collection - as these files certainly files that I intentionally created.

Thanks in advance,
Paul
