Well, it sounds to me like somebody put a macro in there to save it to a new
name. Otherwise, my brain isn't thinking right today, which is always
possible. Given there's no input from anybody else...I think they're
clueless, too.

I just re-checked to make sure of the extension, it is definitly xls. The
filename is the current month and day as 5-29 for today when you click on
the
save icon you get a Save as box with a filename of 5-291 with an extension
of
xls with the default folder selected instead of the folder where the file
came from. Prior to this week, when you click on the save icon it just
saved
the file over the original. This system is used by several people, on
different shifts, week-end shifts, and fill-ins for vacations and sick
calls.
The file is an event log and the officer on duty enters data in at least
once
an hour, everything has worked OK for the past several years and just
started
to have problems, no one will admit to makeing any changes in the file.
Re-installing the master, which is write protected on the network makes no
improvement. The same master installed on other computers works OK.

1,2,3? Sounds like the file was saved as a template. Are you sure the
file
name is XLS and not XLT?

Using Excel97. when my user opens a file, makes changes and then
clicks
the
save icon, it used to save the changes to the file that was originally
opened, now it brings up a save as dialog box, adds a 1,2,3.... to the
filename and saves it in the default folder instead of where it came
from.
How do I put it back to the way it was
