Appointment Attachment Didn't Save
I am hoping someone can explain why this is happening!
I have Office 07 and Win Vista. One of my calendar appointments had an Excel 07 file attached to it. I should have saved it to my harddrive and edited, but i opened it from the appointment instead. I made changes to the doc and clicked the save button (on my QAT) in Excel multiple times while I made edits. I closed Excel and it did not prompt me to save the doc. I am looking for answers to these questions: 1. Where did the file get saved? I can't find it ANYWHERE! It is gone. I suspected it may have saved in the appointment but it didn't. 2. I noticed that the appointment asks whether i want to save before closing it. I must have clicked "no" the first time because I thought I had saved the Excel doc. When i tried to replicate the problem I said "yes" to the prompt and all the changes were saved to the doc attachment in my appointment. I'm not sure where this doc gets saved, either. If the appointment were deleted, so would my file. Can anyone shed light on this? I am nervous to attach files sent to my colleagues' meeting requests, etc. without solving this mystery. |

When you open an attachment in Outlook, it gets written to the "Outlook Secure Temp" folder. This folder is usually a subfolder of your Temporary Internet Files folder and you cannot browse to it using Windows Explorer. If you know its exact name, however, you can access its contents. Your file _may_ be there still, but it's a _temporary_ folder. The data may have been deleted.
