Excel Temporary Files Location
Hi Frederik,
Sorry. Its hard coded. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/150368 for Excel. And this one on Word has a longer explaination http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211632 Click the "where and when..." link. -- John johnf202 at hot mail dot com "Frederik" wrote in message oups.com... Thanks for you answer Dave, it'll create a temporary workbook when it saves Can I change this file location? The Excel files are on a NAS device. This NAS device communicates with an Antivirus Server. We do not want these temporary files to be sent to the AV server and so it would be better if the temporary files would be saved on the local machine instead of on the NAS device. Kind regards, Frederik On Mar 28, 4:47 pm, Dave Peterson wrote: Excel doesn't do this. Are you sure it's not your antivirus software. Excel will store some temporary files in your windows temp folder--and it'll create a temporary workbook when it saves, but if that save is successful, then that workbook will disappear. MSWord does create a temporary file in that same folder. It'll start with a tilde ~ (IIRC). Frederik wrote: Hi all, When Excel opens a file, it creates a temporary file in the same directory. This file disappears as soon as the Excel workbook is closed again. But what if I want these temporary files to be created in a chosen location, instead of the same directory as where my file resides? Thanks for your time and answer! Frederik -- Dave Peterson |
