Jim,
Is there a reason why you don't use the SET SCRATCH command?
In my old applications I had the following code at start up:
==========================
- This section sets up the scratch files...
CLEAR VAR vChkFile
SET VAR vChkFile INTEGER = NULL
SET VAR vChkFile = (CHKFILE('C:\TEMP'))
IF vChkFile <> 1 THEN
MD C:\TEMP
ENDIF
SET SCRATCH C:\TEMP
SET ERROR MESSAGE 2262 OFF
SET ERROR MESSAGE 2926 OFF
ERASE C:\TEMP\*.$$$
SET ERROR MESSAGE 2926 ON
SET ERROR MESSAGE 2262 ON
==========================
Now, I simply use the following code:
==========================
-- This section sets up the scratch files...
SET SCRATCH TMP
===========================
Much easier to let RBTI (and Microsoft) take care of temporary files for
you.

Razzak,
I have plenty of storage memory on the LOCAL drive (C:) 13 GB.
There are 46 processes in use when I bring up the Task Manager.
I am very unfamiliar with how the temp files affect things.
Since the settings I now have, C:\Doucuments and settings\Jim\Local
Settings\Temp are on C: drive, how does going to C:\TEMP make a
difference?
Just wondering since they are both on C: drive.

Jim,
If you wish, you may [Edit...] both User & System variables, as
suggested.
Do you have enough system resources (memory) available on this computer?
What else is running in the background (tasks, programs, etc.)?

Excellent!
Very Best R:egards,
