When saving a file (Excel or word)is it possible to specify where the temporary files are created during the Save? If I open an Excel file, it will correctly create a temp file in c:\windows\temp. Close the file and it deletes the temp file. Great stuff. If I try to save a file I have noticed that it will delete the temp file from the above folder, create another file in the folder where the file is located and then delete it after successully saving the Excel file. The problem is that I am trying to deny users from deleting files in this network drive after someone accidentally deleted a file. As the files reside on a Win2k Server, I thought that by denying deletion of files I would be able to do this. I have denied them the right to delete files, but this has resulted in them being unable to save files in this folder. So, is there some setting that I can change that will allow me to force Excel (or Word) to create that second temp file in the temp folder?
