Problems with temporary files generated by fox pro 2.5a

[Tanihara]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm having problems with temporary files generated by fox pro 2.5a. Sometimes it creates the temporary file but after some minutes the system doesn't respond and still creating a big temporary file until you reset the computer.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If somebody could help me I'd be thankful.

How big are the files that you are dealing with?<br><br>What type of machine are you using?&nbsp;&nbsp;What operating system?<br><br>(We have had the same type of problems.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are ways around, depending on the above questions (and answers)).<br>

The files are about 1.5 GB and still growing until you turn off the computer.<br>The workstation is a 586 Cyrix Mhz with 4 MB RAM and HD 650 MB. The workstation that has had the problem uses DOS 6.22 operating system.<br>We use Novell 4.12 on the server and DOS 6.22 on some workstations.<br>The problem never occurs all the time.<br><br>Thank you for the help.

What are the file extensions of these temp files.&nbsp;&nbsp;DBF, TMP, VUE ?? <p>David W. Grewe<br><a href=mailtoave@internationalbid.net>Dave@internationalbid.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Probably you have used a 'Select SQL' command which keeps on adding records to a temporary file.<br><br>Check out the SQL that you are using.
