useless file
 

When somebody use my VBA file (excel 2k) sometimes in this
same folder excel save and remain file without extension.
E.G. sb used file "test.xls" excel save and remind
flie "CEAA9100".
How dispose this error?

useless file
 

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 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.

I think I'd start with the easiest stuff first. Try disabling the antivirus
software.

If that didn't help, I'd go back and have those permissions checked once more.

(maybe it's a hardware problem???)
