Thanks Dave, I found them;
(I was looking in the wrong "Temp" folder <blush).

A colleague is having problems reading a disk and mentioned that he was saving Excel files
directly to it.
I knew (from hard experience-a long time ago) that Word will corrupt a disk in these
circumstances but wasn't sure if Excel would do the same.

That rule applies to excel (as well as all office programs).

It's probably not a bad rule for any program nowadays.

If you open a workbook in excel, you can go look at the files in your Temp
folder.

In fact, look at your temp folder first, so you can notice the changes.

So does the rule about saving/opening directly from a floppy *not* apply to Excel?
(I'm trying to resolve a problem for someone)

Any idea as to the naming structure applied to the temp XL files?

Does XL create temp files (as does Word)?
If so, where are they created?
(Word creates them in the same directory as the Document.)
