I just found the same thing on a brand new laptop running XP Pro SP2 and
Excel 2007. Every time the spreadsheet is changed a new .tmp file is
generated. The computer has AVG, but I'm certain that's not the problem
since AVG has no way of creating a file with the identical data as the .xls
file only with a .tmp extension. What's going on here?

Since I started to use Excel 2007, my folders are getting loaded with .tmp
files that Excel does not seem to be deleting. So I have to do it manually.
A Google search revealed that there is some discussion on the AVG message
boards about the problem, and I do use the AVG virus software. But I was
wondering if anyone has encountered this problem with Excel 2007 and has any
suggestions.

Thanks.

This is not a AVG problem this is an Excel 2007 problem my boss has the
latest Norton installed on his new computer and his computer generates .tmp
files every time he closes a Excel document. Microsoft need to admit that
here is a bug in Excel 2007 and fix it. I know it is Excel because that is
the only program that generates these files if it was AVG it would not be
limited to Excel and everyone is having the same problem if you search on
Google this is a popular problem for Excel users. What about my bosses
computer with Norton on it not AVG.
