Jan,
I’ve started to use a lot of temp tables in an older DOS version “Application”, and by the end of the week I had a screen full of *.$$$ files. After reading all the email on this subject I added DISCONNECT as the next to the last line of the “Edit cleanup command block” in the Application: DISCONNECT RETURN Now there are no *.$$$ files at the end of the week J The down side is that the user now has to reconnect to the database in order to look at Info – Reports – Forms and the like.

It is entirely possible that I am not doing something correct when I leave temp tables. I haven't always "DROPped" them when done because I knew R:BASE would handle them upon exit. Perhaps I need to change that mode of operation.

I’m not sure where to go from here.

I have always understood that in normally running and terminating sessions of R:BASE, all scratch files will be deleted, not SOME scratch files.

I have the same issue even though I have "Clean scratch files on exit" checked on the Settings menu. This is for Turbo V-8, but not quite the most recent version. I am using CCleaner to clear them out. Just sympathizing. Have a great day. -- Mike Ramsour From: "jan johansen" <[email protected]> To: &n bsp; [email protected] (RBASE-L Mailing List) Date: 02/28/2011 10:48 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Temp files Sent by: [email protected] _____ Group, I was wondering if someone can confirm this. I'm observing a behavior that I'm trying to nail down. I'm noticing that the $$$ files do not always clear out, even when exiting R:BASE normally. For instance, when you start R:BASE you normally get 3 $$$ in the temp folder. Shut down your session and the 3 $$$ disappear. But in certain processes, even exiting normally will still leave a stray $$$ file. Suggestions?
