Why is this happening? I am new to > windows 7 and this never happened on XP Try an Excel NG? I don't think this is a 64bit issue. FWIW this happens to my mother too. In her case she is still using floppy disks for her file management and always opens them from an Explorer window, so I suspect it is either the slowness of the device or the fact that she has two references to the file open at the same time, e.g. one in the Explorer window and one in Excel. Apparently the way Excel works is it saves the file with a temporary name, then it tries to delete the existing file, then it renames the temporary file to the existing filename. So it is probably at step 2 of that procedure where the failure is occurring. HTH Robert Aldwinckle ---
