how to open an excel document saved in a temporay file

[Guest]

I opened an excel document sent as email attachment. I did not save it to
disk. I worked on the document while open as an attachment and saved it.
When I went back to the e-mail and opened the atttachment my changes were not
there. I have found several excel document in a temporary file but cannot
open them. The text import wizard says its delimited and it looks like it is
encrypted. Were is my saved Excel attachment and how do I open it. I'm
new to Exel and I promise I will always save to disk in the future.

what email client were you using to open it

As long as your promise to never do it again, use windows find to search the
HD for the filename.xls

Quest DSL with MSN Premium

hotmail/msn is blocked at work so I can't check it

it probably uses your default temporary directory. To find out wha
your default temp directory is go start->run->cmd <enter
then in the window that pops up type "echo %temp%" <enter
have a look in the directory it gives yo

the windows search didn't work for you

let me open them Could they be zipped?
