Subject:  Re: TMP files
it appears that the TMP file is only left behind when the channel crashes. It was just unusual to see a TMP be created everytime a script was executed. I have never noticed this before.  I wasn't really sure whether it was some type of error.
 
If I force foxweb to compile my scripts, I can actually see a TMP file being created for each script before it is executed.  The TMP file is created in the same directory as my scripts; and the last one remains after a channel crash.  An example is a TMP file named 8MU8006J.TMP.
 
thanks for info.

What's the name and location of the TMP files in question?  VFP uses temp files for several funcitons, but usually deletes them after the resource they support (for example a cursor) is destroyed.  Other temp files are deleted when VFP is exited.  What happens if you close FoxWeb?  Do these files go away?  In some cases, such as when a channel crashes, or is killed by FoxWeb, temp files are left behind.  This does not appear to be the case.  In these cases you would see entries in fw_start.log, indicating that the channel was restarted.

One of our vfp scripts is creating a TMP file on the server.  Foxweb still continues to run without a channel timeout or an error being trapped.
 
I am not sure why a TMP file would be created and what it is exactly - 
 
can anyone help?
