From Debra Dalgleish's site:

I don't have another guess.

Hi Abhishek,
Here is Gord Dibben's answer to a similar question in another group it may be what you are looking for. <Excel stores in Windows\Temp(win98) folder a copy(s) of any file that is open. Sometimes this *.tmp file is not deleted from the Temp folder when you close out Excel(maybe a crash of Excel?) or the file, so Excel thinks it is still open and in use. You can try a re-boot and see if that clears it up. If not, after a re-boot, clear out your Windows\Temp folder. If using WinXP your Temp folder would be under user....... Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp If on a network, re-booting the server may be the only solution other than copying the data to a new workbook. HTH Martin |
