Path/File access error: '\VB*.tmp'
Saved from a previous post--Your file names look close to the AVG suggestion:
========== If those .tmp files look like: ...\VB*.tmp I searched google again for "\vb" and .tmp and got a few hits. One of them: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/mic...1eecaad1c774cc or http://snipurl.com/1339g One person posted that they saw files that had names like: ~RF26c83af.TMP. It was caused by AVG. You can read her description in this thread: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/mic...cd4eed0638e395 or http://snipurl.com/jyus A while ago, someone posted back that uninstalling something called "Panda ClientShield" fixed a similar problem. Even if you're not running "Panda ClientShield", you could try disabling this program to see if the problem goes away. =============================== ps. I didn't remember correctly. That thread from Wendy (#7) does indeed point to AVG as the culprit. dave wrote: Hi all, I have a user getting this error message when attempting to copy sheets within a single Excel 2003 workbook. She's opening the XLS file within a network folder for which she has proper permissions to read and write, but the root directory of the network drive she's on does not give her those permissions. From the path given, it appears that Excel is trying to write a temporary file to the root of the current drive, thus causing the problem. I've verified that her default XL document folder is correctly set, as well as set the startup directory for her Excel icons to be local directories in which she has full permissions. Is there some other setting that will allow me to force these temp files to be in a specific location? Also, I've already tried a complete reinstall of Office 2003. She also has the same problem on two different PCs. No other users have the same problem, however. Thanks in advance, Dave -- Dave Peterson |

Path/File access error: '\VB*.tmp'
Dave,
I had seen similar postings, but since we weren't using AVG on her particular workstation, I kind of blew them off. We are using AVG on the server where these files exist, so I've adjusted it per Wendy's post, and now it's time to wait and see. I'm dying to know why it affects only this one user...

I'd double check that user's AV software. Maybe AVG got installed on that
