FM6 Can't Create Temporary File on XP SP3

in Damaged / Corrupt File Problems

Featured Replies

I have a client stuck on a legacy fm6 single-user database. Occasionally (perhaps 1 out of 50 times) they open the .fp5 file, they get an error message that a temp. file can't be created for one of the secondary files. If they click "OK" then immediately exit the app, the problem doesn't recur and everything is ok.

Any idea what may be causing this? This is on Windows XP Pro SP3, FM Pro 6.0v4, and the user has 20+ GB of free disk space on their C drive.

I suggest that you check the user's access to the fmp6 file, the folder containing this file, the access of the user to the FMP6 application folder and subfolders.

Reason: fmp needs to create temp file for processing, usually the temp file is created in the same folder as the .fp5 file. The temp file will be deleted when you open the .fp5 file.
