How do I keep an excel file from saving to "COPY OF" file name
I receive excel spreadsheets via e-mail. When I open the spreadsheets to save
them, the file name automatically shows "copy of" then the file name. Is there a way the "copy of" can be removed so only the file name appears? I manually remove the "copy of", but this takes time and sometimes I forget and then can't find the file because it's listed under Copy Of. |

How do I keep an excel file from saving to "COPY OF" file name
Sandy
I guess these files are the same name each day or similar and attached to an outlook email. This is because it tries to save a cached copy in an Outlook folder and the only way to do this is to make a name unique by adding copy of. If you can find the Outlook store and delete the original it should be fine -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England www.nickhodge.co.uk HIS "Sandy" wrote in message ...
