IMXXXX and Saving Problems

S

On my computer at work, one particular excel document is
very, very weird. Whenever I open it, instead of it saying
the name of the file it says IMXXXX where the X's are
numbers, and they change each time I open it - as if the
file is temporary or something.

Also when I save it for the first time after opening it,
it asks me to Save As (with the Save As dialog box). If I
write out the exact same filename etc, it doesn't
overwrite it, it creates a new one... with the same name!

The other option is to cancel when the dialog appears,
change the spreadsheet a little bit, i.e. type "a" into a
cell, then delete it again, then save again in the same
manor, and it just saves over the document like it should
do.

I was just wondering why it seems to always be a temporary
file with the IMxxxx stuff, and why it has this saving
problem?

It's my work computer so I can't manipulate it like I
could my own, but the IT bod sits opposite me - but he ahs
no idea!

Thanks,
Si
