Larry, Emmitt and Paul, Thanks for the replies. Yes, each user has there own user ID, password and documents/settings folders etc. However, currently, all users call the exe from the same folder, I..E G:\Data\Apps. The EXE and associated DLL's all reside here and all users call / access the same files. Is this a good practice? Should I have separate EXE/DLL for each user?
The EXE sets the temp folder to the terminal server's temp file : C:\WinNT\Temp (This is a Windows 2000 terminal server) Based upon your feed back, I should change the EXE to optain the login ID and set the temp path to thier unique temp folder? Having 8-12 users placing temp files in the same folder might cause issues? Thanks, -Bob -- Thompson Technology Consultants LaPorte, IN 46350 219-363-7441 -------------- Original message -------------- From: Lawrence Lustig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> << I am suspecting it is in how I am running the program via terminal services. All users access the same compiled EXE. Since the scratch files are set to the default temp folder, the temp files for all users are being stored in the same server temp folder. >> How do the users log in to their terminal services sessions? If they all have their own userids, each user should get a different TMP directory automatically. If they're all logging in to the SAME userid, they would be sharing a temp directory. Even then, it shouldn't cause any problems, but I'd use separate logins anyway (that way, your application can determine who's using it). -- Larry
