Page A-7 in the FoxPro 2.5 for MS-DOS "Developer's Guide" and page B-7 in
the FoxPro 2.5 for Windows "Developer's Guide" state the following about
the error message "Cannot create program workspace":
Cannot create program workspace
FoxPro was not able to create enough workspace upon startup.
This may be due to insufficient rights to the directory or not
enough disk space.
"Workspace" is the area where FoxPro does temporary work during execution.
Note there must be enough available disk space to store these temporary
files; normally, 2 MB is adequate.
NOTE: In Visual FoxPro, this error message is described in online Help,
under the "Error Message" topic.
MORE INFORMATION
The MS-DOS version of FoxPro creates its temporary files in the current
working directory unless an alternative location is specified by including
one or more of the SORTWORK, EDITWORK, PROGWORK, and/or TMPFILES statements
in the CONFIG.FP file.
FoxPro for Windows, however, will create its temporary files in the same
directory in which Windows stores its temporary files unless an alternative
location is specified by including one or more of the SORTWORK, EDITWORK,
PROGWORK, and/or TMPFILES statements in the CONFIG.FPW file. The location
of Windows .TMP files is set by the MS-DOS TEMP environment variable, which
is specified in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
