Yet another Sort Path Question (OpenInsight 32-Bit)

Just wanted to check/confirm something.
If I have the "Sort Path" set to %TEMP% in the environment settings, and all works well. What happens when a user opens up more than one session and is running reports on both sessions? Will they potentially 'step on their own toes' with regard to .sfx files?

The .SFX file names are generated for each session so there is minimal risk of a collision or "stepping on their own toes".

Jared,
Thanks for the reply but the way it sounds doesn't confirm anything. Can you clarify?

A: Each session generates a unique .SFX file in the SORT path.

A: No, because each oinsight.exe instance (not each machine) has a unique .SFX file.
Hope that helps. Do you have reason to suspect problems with the temp sort files?

Jared,
If you can double confirm that if my OI App (v8.7), with sort path=%TEMP%, and all thick/thin client users have the proper rights and permissions to their respective %TEMP% directories, and any user opens more than one oinsight.exe session/instance and runs random rlist routines (or even the same rlist routine) at the same time won't cause any problems to any files OI stores/caches/writes to that %TEMP% directory then we are in good shape.
Thanks.
