MS Access 2003 Error Message "Not Enough Space on Temporary Disk"

I've Googled the specific error message and have found several suggestions on what to do but none of them actually have resolved the issue.

Does anyone have specific knowledge on how to resolve this problem?  Also if anyone knows if the message is referring to temporary disk space on the system drive ("like" in the paging files) or if it means "working space" within the database itself, that information would be helpful.

TIA

If you can provide a bit more details about how much space you have available, what your %TEMP% variable is set to (echo %TEMP% from command line, and obfuscate the username info before pasting here), how big the database file is, and what kind of process it's doing when you get the error, we may be able to provide more specific guidance.

Sorry for the delay, the whole application suddenly went away, or so I was told.  

Jeffrey Coachman:  I liked the registry fix but this company has things locked down so tightly that we can sometimes barely get the things we need to accomplish done.  A registry hack on THEIR system would be totally out of the question, but I can definitely try it on my own.

sentner:  thanks for the contribution.  I tried it and for whatever reason it had no effect.  Besides this is an intermittent problem.

 Jim Dettman (EE MVE / MS Access MVP):  tried that too, no affect but thank you.

Thanks to everyone who contributed.
