how to open an excel document saved in a temporay file
 

I opened an excel document sent as email attachment. I did not save it to
disk. I worked on the document while open as an attachment and saved it.
When I went back to the e-mail and opened the atttachment my changes were not
there. I have found several excel document in a temporary file but cannot
open them. The text import wizard says its delimited and it looks like it is
encrypted. Were is my saved Excel attachment and how do I open it. I'm
new to Exel and I promise I will always save to disk in the future.

As long as your promise to never do it again, use windows find to search the
HD for the filename.xls

hotmail/msn is blocked at work so I can't check it.

it probably uses your default temporary directory. To find out what
your default temp directory is go start-run-cmd <enter
then in the window that pops up type "echo %temp%" <enter
have a look in the directory it gives you

the windows search didn't work for you?
