It sounds more like a result of your antivirus program.

If you disable that AV program (just temporarily), does the problem go away?

I have one user in the office when they save there excel document it creates
a *.tmp file in the current file folder.

Now I checked - Select Tools|General Option and put a check against the
Always Create Backup box before you save the file. But that is not it.

The file created is something like this. dhti4345$0buget200243~.tmp

IF anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.

I also looked into editing the registry and increasing the cache size but I
would prefer not to do that.

thanks again
