Thanks.
Didn't know that and that gives me a start at some insight in this problem.

I don't use xl2003, but when you save a file in excel, it actually saves
to a
new name (those funny 8 character, no extension names).

If all goes well, then excel deletes the original file and renames the
funny one
to the original's name.

This didn't help with your problem, though.

Since upgrading to Excel 2003 I have an intermittent problem saving an
add-in.
What happens is that the save doesn't finish and there is a continuous
hard-disk activity.
Eventually the error message appears file not saved.
What is happening is that a very large file is being made in the same
folder
as the add-in. When this reaches a few Gb and the hard-disk is full the
error message appears.
This file can have different names. I have seen 9DA0C400 and 4976E400. I
don't see a file extension.
The add-in itself is big, about 1.5 mB, but this didn't cause any
problem
before. The add-in works fine.
This is getting a major problem and I haven't found any information
about
this on the internet.
Thanks for any advice or insight in this.
