Excel creating TMP with each save but not deleting on close
The subject says it all really... am using Excel 2003 SP2. On each
save, I get a fresh TMP file which, on my now retired workstation (same setup) were deleted on close: Xmas lunch.xls Xmas lunch.xls~RF1783b6.TMP Xmas lunch.xls~RF21684e.TMP Xmas lunch.xls~RF22d4bf.TMP Xmas lunch.xls~RF397407d.TMP Have Googled but found no answer. And the anti-virus software we're using (Norman) is set up on this PC in the same way as my old workstation, so suspect AV behaviour not the answer. Thanks for any pointers. |

I don't think they're caused by excel.
Saved from a previous post--Your file names look close to the AVG suggestion: ========== If those .tmp files look like: ...\VB*.tmp I searched google again for "\vb" and .tmp and got a few hits. One of them: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/mic...1eecaad1c774cc or http://snipurl.com/1339g One person posted that they saw files that had names like: ~RF26c83af.TMP. It was caused by AVG. You can read her description in this thread: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/mic...cd4eed0638e395 or http://snipurl.com/jyus 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.
