why do my excel files keep disappearing after I read them?

[Techie who needs help!]

I get attachments on Outlook that are excel files. Now when I open them the
first time around, I am able to read them and everything shows up correctly.
But if at any time during the day I try to open the same document again. It
will pop up and show me the file, but there is no information in there at
all. Everything is gone. It's a blank page and the file itself reads 64kb,
like it was deleted. But I didn't delete anything from it. Help!!! Can
someone please explain this to me and give me some suggestions/steps to try
and do to fix this problem??????? It's been an ongoing thing for awhile now.

Thank you very much and have a wonderful day! =)

Don't open the file by with Outlook. First copy the file to a folder (like
your Desktop) and then open it.
