excel files in my docs have numbered filenames and are duplicates
Does anyone have a fix for this one. When I save files from Excel 2003 to
the associated folders, files are appearing, in addition to the ones I am saving. They have names such as "92733B00" and don't show to be associated filenames. They will also open as excel files and are copies of the same files I am saving. All help is appreciated. sss |

excel files in my docs have numbered filenames and are duplicates
When excel saves the file, it saves it as a temporary file with a funny name (8
characters--no extension) in the same folder. If the save is successful, xl will delete the original (or rename it to its backup name (like "backup of book1.xlk)) and if that's successful, xl will rename the funny named file to the original's name. If you're seeing that funny named file, then something is going wrong. 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. sss wrote: Does anyone have a fix for this one.
