> I'd like to know why if anyone can give you an answer. 
Well your examples worked.  Mine did not.  The answer is the type of file 
system on the vdisk.  All of your examples had file names 8 characters or less. 
What I did was use a four characters followed by 5 '?' which generates a 9 
character file name which is invalid on a FAT drive.  I don't know whether to 
call it a bug or a feature but I did expect the SysTempFileName to return a 
file name not null.  If it had returned a file name the subsequent file open 
would have had an open error which would have pointed out the problem.
