Printing report when a record is being updated

[GCC Consulting]

OK,

Many years ago, on a Xenix system, I created a virtual drive for the temp
directory to help performance.  I'd love to do this on the windows PC's as
they all have a huge amount of memory and creating a virtual drive of 5 or
10Mb wouldn't affect the systems performance.
