The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh 2.6a
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh 3.0b
This article was previously published under Q126440

SUMMARY

FoxPro for Macintosh will automatically store temporary files on the drive used to boot the Macintosh.

If no corresponding entries are found in the CONFIG.FPM file, FoxPro will create a folder on the boot drive named Temporary Items. Temporary files will be stored in this folder. This occurs whether you install a full copy of FoxPro on the local hard drive or perform a network installation from a shared hard drive.

To redirect temporary files from the default installation, place the following entries in the CONFIG.FPM file, and restart the Macintosh: 
   TMPFILES=<drive:folder>
   EDITWORK=<drive:folder>
   SORTWORK=<drive:folder>
   PROGWORK=<drive:folder>
For more information on configuring FoxPro, refer to the Installation and Configuration Guide.
