Can Start VFP Message?

[Joe Frawley]

"Visual FoxPro Cannot Start. Cannot create program workspacetemp files..
Press F1 for Help."

I have only one user (using NT) of many (Win95,Win98, & NT), and he
is the only one getting this message after dblclick on icon. What is
Fox Pro telling me?

Thanks,

Joe

Joe,
If the shortcut includes a reference to a CONFIG.FPW file check where the
tempfiles are going, otherwise I believe the tempfiles are placed in the
Windows Temp directory. If the user doesn't R/W access to this directory
then VFP won't start.

The user must also have Create rights to the directory.

Also, the directory may have too many files in it. If this is the case,
there may be other, probably hardware problems on this machine.
