That was someone else's suggestion. If VFP needs to create a file on disk for a cursor, it handles the names for you and cleans them up when you close the cursor. If you choose to create temp files, and if you use tables instead of cursors, you have to write the code that insures that the file names and/or locations are unique and clean up afterwards.

In addition - for our system - there is this "Work" sub-directory where temp files are created, and code in the system that generates the temp file names. I only bring this up - because you suggested storing the temp files on the local C: drive - while this work directory is up on the Server - under the main directory where the application resides. So - shall I still go for doing a Temp DBF, along with a Temp IDX file - even though its on the Server? Or - will a Cursor ACTUALLY get generated as a True local temp file - because of the way VFP works? -K- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/df1eef11e586a64fb54a97f22a8bd0440678505...@ackbwddqh1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
