Hi guys,

I just wanted to ask for help or any suggestion regarding this matter.
I'm running Win2000 Server & Professional and I notice from one of the
PC that when I open a network excel file and save it, it will prompt
and it will create a " xxx0000" file. I tried to look for the updated
file and found out that this file is latest one. I opened it and save
it as the original filename. This happens everytime I modified and save
excel files. Hope anyone of you there might be able to assist
me...Thanks :)
 
When excel saves the file, it saves it as a temporary file with a funny name (8
characters--no extension).

If the save is successful, xl will delete the original and if that's successful,
xl will rename the funny named file to the original's name.

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.

If you can temporarily disable the AntiVirus software, maybe you can pinpoint
the source of the problem.
