I would suspect that is a side effect of using some Anti-virus scanning

Jim Thanks for the reply!!!

I have office 2003 installed in my desktop. We have a Server where excel
files are copied so multiple people can access and update the worksheet. Some
of the excel files are shared using share workbook option present in Excel
application. But there are some files with unknown format which are created
in the folders, all these unknown files can be opened in excel. Not sure how
these unknows file with 8 character junk file name is getting created. Do you
have any idea?

Thanks
Roshan

And the question is??? FYI saving a file is not controled by XL it is
controlled by your operating system. XL just makes a request to the OS to be
saved. The OS performs the save...

whenever we save a shared document, we could see a temporary file is created
with file name of 8 characters. for eg: A0020785
