WHY DO ALL OF THESE "TMP" FILES APPEAR IN MY VB6 APP?

[Hiccup]

I must have an option incorrectly set in my VB6 project. As I make changes to items in my project I notice that suddenly I have numerous (sometimes hundreds if not thousands) of temp files, which I delete to keep the size of my folder down. Everything in my project seems to work without them!!

Can anyone tell me what creates these files and if there's a option setting to check (or uncheck)to prevent them?

Thanks in advance!!

I know that VB creates temp files but I've never seen it to that extreme. Are you using a dataenvironment or crystal reports?

bjd4jc -

I'm not using Crystal Reports, however when I started the project over a year ago, I created a DataEnvironment, but did little with it because I switched to using Adodc's and DataGrids. However, I never deleted the DataEnvironment from my project folder.

I haven't even accessed the DataEnvironment I created in over a year. Could this inactivity still be creating these tmp files?

Doubtful but possible. If you're not using the DataEnvironment then I would go ahead and remove from your project... why keep it in there?
