Hey Gunnar, Thanks for the very interesting post.
I'm still running into this problem with RBDOS but it does not yet have the new scratch syntax available yet. I'm super happy that everyone so far agrees that it is REALLY fixed in RBWIN. Until I have everything in RBWIN, I have to deal with RBDOS. Nothing so far seems to eliminate the problem entirely in that environment. SET SCRATCH TMP is a fabulous "set it and forget it" feature which I am drooling for.

I myself has done that more times then I like to acknowledge. Having said that i like to add since I staretd use: SET SCRATCH TMP I have not yet experionced any issu! If I do in the future I sleep in the night relaying that RBTI will solve the issue, before I wake upp in the morning. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis McGrath" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 05, 2008 8:14 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Error messages Thanks Alistair (and everyone who has responded.) So far the silence seems to indicate no problem and that is very cool.

(v7.6/Vista.) I even had to check to make sure I was doing it the recommended way as there _used_ to be problems and, some time ago, I removed all the extra code that I had to tidy up. Maybe there's usually silence because there's usually no problem?? It's all too easy to forget about something wrong when it goes away...

I see the solution promoted over and over, but I don't recall anyone coming back and confirming that it completely solved this problem for them. On the other hand, is anyone using SET SCRATCH TMP and still getting these errors? The silence on this subject is deafening.

John, Instead of mucking with SCRATCH settings manually, why not let R:BASE handle the SCRATCH settings to create, manage and then delete the temporary (.$$$) files automatically. Did you know that the latest versions of R:BASE 7.6, C/S:I 7.6, Turbo V-8 and eXtreme (v9) include a setting to automatically find the user's default Windows temporary folder to manage all scratch (.$$$) files, accordingly. All you need to do is simply use the keyword "TMP" in R:BASE configuration (.cfg) file and related Oterro (.cfg) file, if used. You can also use the newly supported "SET SCRATCH TMP" command in your application startup file, before CONNecting to database. Using the "SCRATCH TMP" option will also eliminate all issues related to setting the SCRATCH directory and related files. This default setting also enables R:BASE/OTERRO to write scratch files without being concerned about read, write, and delete permissions on the network/local folders. Now knowing the advantages and built-in capabilities of R:BASE, do what works for you in your specific environment. Try it. You'll be glad you did!
