Save Excel from email

Question

I sent my friend an excel sheet. She opened it and worked on it. She SAVED it (she didn't do SAVE AS, like I told her to).

When you open from an email and then save, where does it save it? She couldn't find it. I had her search the c: drive, but it wasn't there. And it wasn't listed in the Excel recent file list at the bottom. So she had to open it again from the email and start over.

The file most likely was saved in a temp folder, either under Windows, Internet Explorer, or the user Temp.   I don't think you can access it again after you exit Excel, as the temp file will not be there.

I think… If you still have the email, you can open the attachment and it will have the changes. Then you can do the Save As.

I had her reopen the attachment.  It didn't have her changes.  Thanks, anyway.  She started over and I had her save it to a spot we could find.   Christine
