File names
All of a sudden all of my Excel 2007 files have a ~ followed by several
numbers after the ~. What happened or what change did I make to cause this? -- Just learning |
File names
Close Excel and look again.
File name beginning with the tilde (~) are normally temporary files best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "Augied" wrote in message ...

-- I would agree with you that the ~ typically indicates temporary files but files that I have not opened recently also have the append info and they do not close after being used. In fact the list of files with the append is growing . Something else is going on that I don't have a clue. Thanks anyway. Just learning "Bernard Liengme" wrote: Close Excel and look again.

What happened or what change did I make to cause this? -- Just learning I guess after looking at my description of the problem I did not make it clear that the ~ plus Alphanumeric characters are appended to the end of the file name, after xlss file type. I also have the problem that I did not address in that when I go to open the files that are named normally I get the message that the file type does not match the file, do you want to open it anyway? I do open the files and they are normal as best as I can tell. Any other ideas on these two abnomalies that just started recently after I have been using the 2007 excel for several months. |
