Whenever I open an Excel file from Outlook 2003 the name of the file changes.
For example if I'm opening a file with the name test.xls once it opens in
Excel is changes the name to test(#).xls. The # number is different on each
file.

Is there a way to fix this. This is also happening to my PowerPoint files
as well.

Thanks,
