Duplicate files created on a save
When a user saves a file, say abc.xls, it creates a duplicate file with
random file name (ie 8ead3100) with no extension. Is there a option the user turned on excel ? |

Duplicate files created on a save
When excel saves the file, it saves it as a temporary file with a funny name (8
characters--no extension). If the save is successful, xl will delete the original (or rename it to its backup name (like "backup of book1.xlk)) and if that's successful, xl will rename the funny named file to the original's name. Common things that get blamed for interruptions to this process are antivirus software poking its head in or network errors--either permissions or physical problems. Maybe temporarily disabling the antivirus software would be the easier thing to test. mikebach wrote: When a user saves a file, say abc.xls, it creates a duplicate file with random file name (ie 8ead3100) with no extension.
