Q: I am getting an "Unable to Create Temporary Work file" error.
A: The error, "Unable to create temporary work file" is a common, yet broad ranging, error. This document details several possible solutions to this problem.
Manually re-register the dao350.dll (dao360.dll for Monarch v5.0 and above). To do this navigate to the C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedDAO directory and locate the file that pertains to your version of Monarch.
Right-click on the file while pressing the shift key, choose Open With from the popup menu.
First uncheck the box that says to always use this program to open files of this type, then press browse.
Navigate to your system folder, c:windowssystem on 95/98/ME and c:winntsystem32 on NT/2K and find the file regsvr32.exe. Open that exe file and press OK when the open with dialog box returns. Note the message that follows as it may assist in future troubleshooting if necessary.
Try opening a report and model from our selection of lesson files. This will determine if the problem is with your specific files or if it is a system wide issue.
Verify and if necessary change the Workpath that is used for the Monarch temporary files.
*** Please note, this requires the use of the Regedit utility that can be damaging if used incorrectly***
To do this go to the Start Menu and choose Run.
Type Regedit and press enter. If this is not available to you please contact your network administrator. Once in the registry editor navigate through HKEY_Current_UserSoftwareDatawatchMonarch (or Monarch Pro)Settings and double click on the Workpath key on the right hand side of the screen.
In the appearing dialog box make sure a valid path is set in the value box. If it is not a valid directory change it to one. Exit the registry editor.
