Add one or more entries like this:

TMP_DIRECTORY 6000000 "f:\temp"

The number is in bytes. Allow a total size approx 2 X the size of your database. You can have one or more temp files - just make sure that each location will always have enough disk space available.

>PS How do you usually override these values?

Go to www.ibphoenix.com and search there. I'm sure there is a paper on the recommended settings in ibconfig.

Please watch your requoting.
