After editing my workbook/sheet (done several times daily) I click save , and
now I am getting new files (?) TMP file type each time.. Which creates 10-20 new files a day. I have looked in all excel/microsoft help sites and can't find a solution. Thank you so much! |

What version of excel are you using?
If it's xl2003 or below, I'd look at your antivirus software. I don't think it's excel that's creating the files.

Hi Dave,
Thank You !!, for repling. I am using Office Excel 2007. Each time I click to 'save changes' I've made, after closing a new icon/file appears. It comes with the changes/updated as a TMP file BUT when I open it, the box says the file is different format than specified by the file extension, verify trusted source & not corrupted' Any thoughts?

I've read a few posts that xl2007 does create these TMP files (but I've never
seen them myself). It's a way of locking the file (if I recall correctly). But I've never seen these things hang around after I've closed the workbook. (Maybe they're usually hidden, then deleted and you're seeing a problem????) If you look at the properties, how large is the file? ========== And just for grins, you may want to disable your AV (just temporarily) to see if that makes the problem go away???

FYI- Size- 40.5 KB
Also, should the it be checked 'hidden' in properties?? & an older version of excel created the file I'm using, but the author doesn't have any issues, no it's not a shared file. Thanks again..

The original .xls file was created in an earlier version, not the .tmp file,
right? I don't use xl2007 enough to know how it treats this file. I'm not sure if it's hidden/system or what. Maybe someone who uses xl2007 and has seen these files will jump in.
