Hi there...
Excel is leaving a xxxx.tmp file on the server where i keep the excel docs -
Should they not disappear automaticly? Every time a document has been opened
- it leaves a file with the same name except for the .tmp extension.
Vista - office2003Sb - server is 2003SB - the rigts to the folder is ok.......

Saved from a previous post:

Add some controls to a worksheet from the control toolbox toolbar and you'll see
some .tmp files in the %temp% folder. But I've never seen excel put them in any
other location.

If those .tmp files look like: ...\VB*.tmp

I searched google again for "\vb" and .tmp and got a few hits.

One person posted that they saw files that had names like: ~RF26c83af.TMP.

It was caused by AVG.

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.
