• Visual Basic Strange vb temp file problem

  Hi there Has anyone ever encountered vb6 creating temp files when the user navigates through a program A friend of mine is boggled by her vb6 app that mysteriously creates lots of tmp files as people uses the program. This has caused the server to create thousands of these tmp files, which are all empty. I have no idea what could be causing this especially since there is no explicit file handling in the code of the app. Any ideass Mike As I suspected, the code has a scope problem.

In this case, you're leaving multiple ADODB.Connection variables that are declared at the module level open. It al ...Show All
