You're right. I shouldn't have used "if you want" in my response.

But this file isn't in the Temp folder. I would take some precautions when the
file isn't in that Temp folder. (Rename or move the file, then test, then
either put it back or delete that renamed/moved file).

And that is the point. When it is replaced by Excel, it is a good version.

Rule of thumb is that anything in the temp directory and its sub directories
can be deleted (except if it is actually in use and you will be warned in
that case).

And yes, close all Office applications before doing it.

But I closed excel
Renamed that file to RefEdit.exdXXXX
And restarted excel
then I added a userform and a refedit box to that userform.

There was a new RefEdit.exd file added to that folder.

So you can delete it if you want, but excel will put it back when it needs it.

Dear Tom Ogilvy,

Could this be a possible file to delete:

RefEdit.exd

In C:\Documents and Settings\Mikhalis\Application Data\Microsoft\Forms

Is it safe to delete it? What do *.exd files do?

Kind regards and thanks once again,

Mikhalis
