Wierd... what version of VB are you using?

[brucevde]

Are you using DataReports? That piece o' crap creates tmp files whenever you work on/run your reports.

Can I clarify something?
VB always creates files of the sort VB*.TMP - it creates them usually in the system TEMP folder (often in C:\WINDOWS\TEMP or similar).
If you stop your program before it completes, or if the VB IDE crashes, these files don't get deleted.
During development, you might well accumulate a whole lot of these. If any have not-todays date, just delete them. If they are marked as ReadOnly, they are still "in use" so you can't delete them until you reboot.
There is no way that you can tell VB to do this for you, at least that I know of...

Once the IDE crashes VB cannot cleanup after itself and leaves the tmp files. Before you start the IDE just delete them.
