If those .tmp files look like: ...\VB*.tmp

I searched google again for "\vb" and .tmp and got a few hits.

One person posted that they saw files that had names like: ~RF26c83af.TMP.

It was caused by AVG.

A while ago, someone posted back that uninstalling something called "Panda
ClientShield" fixed a similar problem.

Even if you're not running "Panda ClientShield", you could try disabling this
program to see if the problem goes away.

===============================
ps. I didn't remember correctly. That thread from Wendy (#7) does indeed point
to AVG as the culprit.

I see a lot of posts for this particular problem, but I am not sure I see any
answers. I have Excel 2007 on my desktop and my laptop. I have noticed that
everytime I open and close an excel file, the program leaves a .tmp file in
the same directory as the datafile. Some have speculated that this may be
happening when the 2007 office converter is installed. Is there a solution
to this problem. Thanks.
