Hi Dave,
I found this older ?/response (Response from you). The ?/problem is exactly like mine. I don't understand the answer/solution. Could you please explain to me, Thank you so much for helping!

You don't remember me? Just Kidding!!! :) I see that you help many :)
My problem- Excel 2007 creates a new tmp file Every time I "save changes" after editing my workbook/sheet. This just started happening a few weeks ago. I read that 'Wendy' (whom you helped) had the exact problem. Following is her update/solution. I don't know what the AVG is or what/how to follow the fix. I am hoping you could explain a bit more detail or the "Explaination for Excel Dummy" version. With Appreciation, V Update: I appear to have fixed the problem. It *was* AVG that was creating the extra files. I thought I had it disabled but I'd only disabled one component of it, not the resident scanner which is what scans all files. I disabled it entirely and the problem disappeared. Then I started searching to see what could be causing it in the resident scanner. I tried turning off heuristic scanning, but the problem remained. The problem was "on close" scanning. Once I turned that off the problem disappeared. I've used that for a long time and never had a problem, but they updated this component on 10/23/05 and I guess it introduced a problem that didn't exist before. My husband had an older version of the scanner on his PC from March so he didn't have the problem I was having. I will write to AVG and inform them of the problem. I appreciate your patience and help! Hopefully my post here will help others who use AVG free too. "Dave Peterson" wrote: I'm not sure what part you don't understand?

AVG is an antivirus program.
The original poster's problem was fixed by turning off one of the features in AVG. Since I don't use AVG, I'm not sure where it can be found. If you're running an Antivirus program (like AVG), you may want to mention it. Maybe someone will have a suggestion on how to tweak a setting in that program.

Word & PowerPoint do something similar, but not like Excel has been doing the past few days. The Excel problem is unique cause it is a full copy of the entire file, not a tiny file only a couple of K. I understand what you're saying but the problem is that excel is not deleting the temporary files and is creating new ones every time I save. For example, I just made a tiny change to a file and saved it. An additional temporary file was created with the file name followed by ~RF26c83af.TMP. This file was dated when I last saved the file (last night). I made a second change and saved again. A new temporary file was created with the date/time I saved the file last today and the extension ~RF26dad2b.TMP. It sounds like it is Excel generating these, not something else. If I exit Excel, the files remain on my computer. They aren't deleted. In the past, the tiny files created by excel always disappeared whenever I quit the program. -- Dave Peterson -- Dave Peterson -- Dave Peterson |
