Hi,

I am having a problem when exporting to Surfer, when i run the tool to contour in surfer i recieve an error that i am unable to open (access denied) the temporary grd file used in creating the contours. Is it possible to change the location of this temp file, currently in the root 'documents and settings' folder, to write to 'documents and settings\my profile' where write access will be granted.

Thanks for the reply.

 I have been able to use the permenant file method, however only if i specify a folder not related to the 'documents and settings' folder, if i try to specify the permenant file in the 'documents and settings\my profile\....' folder i still recieve the same error even though i have full access in this location.

It looks like the problem is with the creation of the grid file which seems to want to be created in the documents and setting root folder regardless of where the temp file is 'documents and settings\my profile\local settings\temp'

 I am happy anyway to use the permanant file option and save to another location, so problem solved.

thanks
