Hello, thanks for the replies. I had to wait until today when I'm back in the office to try this.
The output of ":set shell" shell=C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe I tried both :exec 'e '.tempname() and :execute "e ".fnameescape(tempname()) suggestions above, and both seemed to work. I was able to edit the newly created temp files. Thanks again for any help.
