Hi David This is not related to your temp file problem, but is something you may wish to note. The Status field in the User form is changed in version 7.1 as part of the password expiry process to have more than just Active as a value. Adding your new delete status may cause you a problem when you upgrade to 7.1.
Just something to be aware of.

It doesn't time out on the newest install. Only on our production server. We made a change on the User form but it was minimal. Only added Delete to Status field and changed it from a Radio Button to a Drop Down List. I have log files to send off to Support. We'll see what they have to say.

I don't think we've done anything with it since. We just finished a install of 7.0.1 patch 003 on another server. I'm going to see if I can reproduce on that server.

Have you upgraded your server, having the install shield update the User-form, or have you done a fresh install of version 7.1?
