I'm not sure what that TMP file is, but a question... Save isn't working,
but what about Save As... does that not work either?

I just received an Excel 2007 file from a colleague. I have Excel 2003, so
I
converted it and did quite a bit of work on it this afternoon. Now I am
trying to save it and I am getting an error message. I can't save this
file
to any directory. I looked in the directory where I originally stored it
and
saw some kid of tmp file with the name of the workbook that I worked on,
and
this extension .xls~RF32753c.TMP. What the heck is this thing? It is
preventing me from saving this file and resending to my colleague. I
can't
delete the file; I get a message that the 'file is currently in use'. I
can't save this file as a 2003 excel file. It seems like I have no
control
of it whatsoever!
