If you try and open an excel file from your email and try ActiveWorkbook.Path
it will return. Also the file will be opened in Read-only mode. So you can
probably can validate these two...

C:\Documents and Settings\<username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\

If Instr(1,activeworkbook.path,"Temporary Internet Files",vbTextCompare)0
Then

If Activeworkbook.ReadOnly = True Then
Msgbox "File opened from Email"
End If

Else

Msgbox "File residing in" & ActiveWorkbook.Path

End If

Jacob,

Thanks, this is a good start. I guess the real question is how do I know
that it is a temporary folder? Any folder can be named "temporary", correct?

Thanks in advance for any additional help.
