Clarifications based on responses:
Main Menu is RFF, db is disconnected.
Main Menu item is clicked, db gets connected, the form starts and runs
OBS EEP to create temp table.
At this point, no temp tables exist because the db has been disconnected
for this user; so there can't any open cursors on the temp table that's
going to be created.
Create temp table code is from permanent table definition with
"TEMPORARY" added; the first column, PIKD_ID, exists in another table -
it has same column name and datatype.
If another user had created a temp table, wouldn't that table and its
columns be invisible to this user?
And a table, temp or permanent, can't be created with common column name
and different datatype.
No user would have form designer open, I can do enough damage on my own :)
Hmm, good point though - I do form development on my system and unload
the form, then load it into client's system. Client's designers are
rarely used.
Thanks for the responses and making me think this through a little more.

Packers/Bears - Yeah, what a way to start/end the season.
Packers are gonna be in "rebuild" mode for a few seasons.

So from your code I'm assuming it is the CREATE that isn't working,
not the drop. I've seen that error message when trying to drop a
table and there is a "declare cursor" still defined on a temp table
that was never dropped. There's only one thing I can think of with
the Create, and that's whether some other program is creating a temp
table with a common column name but with a different data type. But
that wouldn't explain why the loop sometimes works. And I'm guessing
that no one would have the form or report designer up that uses the
temp table?
Hey, did you see that Packers / Bears schedule???

Subject: [RBASE-L] - CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE fails sometimes
I create a temporary table in a form's On Before Start EEP
The form is run dozens of times a day.
Once or twice a week I trap an SQL 2440 error, "Unavailable resource
encountered during <command> command".
This is not machine-specific, it occurs on several computers.
SCRATCH is set to TMP - local C:\Users\...\Temp
WAIT TIME is 15 seconds.
INTERVAL is .5 seconds.
What could be causing the error message? What resource could be
unavailable?
Or is it a red herring message and it's really something else?
Code is below.
The [error routine] allows up to 4 tries to loop back and create the
table.
It usually works the second time; once in a great while it fails after 4
tries and I exit the program.
TIA & Happy Memorial Day weekend - take a moment to reflect.

SET ERROR MESSAGE 2038 OFF
DROP TABLE tSHPT
SET ERROR MESSAGE 2038 ON
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE `tSHPT` +
(`PIKD_ID` INTEGER, +
etc )
SET VAR vSQLCode = .SQLCODE
IF vSQLCode <> 0 THEN
[error routine]
ENDI
