<< What happens if you "SET SCRATCH C:\Temp"? -- Make sure to create a folder C:\Temp on your local machine DISCONNECT SET SCRATCH C:\Temp CONNECT dbname ... SHOW SCRATCH should reveal the SCRATCH files location
Now run the same routine and see if that makes any difference. >> I will try that right away, thank you. One problem is that this problem never occurs right away -- it take "a while" to appear (which I realize is not a very helpful description when debugging). However, I'm putting this together with reports I've been getting from some users here, and I believe it's a system-wide problem, not just my machine. I notice in your example that you SET SCRATCH when disconnect from the database. I do the same thing (scratch is set before connecting) but if, for some reason, scratch is set with the database already connected does that cause a problem? -- Larry
