Thanks to all.
Code is working now. Chip, your first sample was exactly what I was looking out for.

Hi David,
What you needed was to expand the contens of the temp dir name again, because it contained an environment variable (the part surrounded with percent signs), which was also originally the what you did to the %temp% environment variable.
Below are several different ways I've picked up from others to generate random file names, or place a file name of your choosing in the temporary dir:
' this one puts the name of your choosing into the temp dir
set oShell = createObject("wScript.shell")
tmpFileName = oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%temp%") & "myTemp.tmp"
' and so does this one
Set SO_Env = SharedObjects("com.GWMicro.GWToolkit.Env", 0)
tmpFileName = SO_Env("%temp%") & "myTemp.tmp"
' this one actually generates the random file name which it puts in the temp dir
Set oSystem =CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
const tempDirName=2
tmpFileName = oSystem.GetSpecialFolder(tempDirName).path & "" & oSystem.GetTempName()
hth,
Chip

Subject: Creating temporary files?
Listers,
Does anyone here happen to have a simple snip-it code, for the following scenario? Or any good suggestions?
I have an app, that creates a temporary file for a certain task. The creation of the file has worked fine so far. But since this is only a temporary file, I had hoped to find a way of storing it in the Temporary folder on the computer. That is, the folder that is defined in the environment variable as either "tmp" or "temp", in Windows itself.
I did a bit of research on the net, and found a way to retrieve the contents of the Temp variable. Here is that code:
Dim Shell: Set Shell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell")
Dim Environment: Set Environment = Shell.Environment( "System")
Dim Tmp: Tmp = Environment( "Temp")
The code works fine, and returns the contents of the variable. Problem is, that it returns things like:
%systemroot%Temp
. Now trying a command like:
Dim FSO: Set FSO = CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" )
Dim F: Set F = FSO.OpenTexstFile( Tmp &"MyFile.tmp", 2, True)
, I get an error thrown at me, telling that the path is invalid. My guess is, that the OpenTextFile does not like the %SystemRoot% part of the created filename.
Reason why I tried to get hold of the Temp variable of the OS, is that I then could have the file stored in the temporary folder, no matter which machine the app was running on. Is there some kind of property or method, that will handle the expansion of the %systemroot% into a valid path? We migh even think of situations where the part between the two percent-signs could be anythhing else, depending on the computer configuration.
Hope all of this makes any sense. Any good workaround here?
Thanks,
