Attachment (Excel) creates duplicate file when opened

I have a user who is seeing duplicate files show up in the attachment window of an email after they open an excel file. It saves it as a "Modified copy". I have never seen thi sbefore and neither had she up until a few weeks ago.
Any ideas?
Dave Burek

If one opens an attached Office document and save this from the application (Excel) then one get the "Modified copy" as a new attachment.
This is a normal function.
If Ypou feel this as an error You have to look, why Excel saves the file.

Stop Excel changing a file when opened

Is there a way to stop Excel (and possibly Word too) changing the Excel file when you open it, and then close it without saving.
Excel updates the last opened date, and does not change the update date. Like this: http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php/oddity/who_last_opened_that_file/
I do not want this to occur as I have a sync'ing system which creates unessisary noise, and it also causes sync issues and merge conflicts for changes that are not changes.
Can you turn it off?

Hello ,
Thank you for your question.
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue.
Thanks

Excel automatically create .tmp file when open after close Excel, tmp file still there

Anytime I save a change to one of my Excel files, the TMP file appears in the destination folder and remains. The "main" Excel file
saves the retains the changes that I made and after each subsequent change, a new TMP file is created...old TMP files are not deleted. This is only happening with Excel files.

Hi,
From your description, I understand that you want .tmp file disappear . If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
This issue can be related to many factors.
First, try to check out file->save-> Save autorecover information, if you use Excel 2010.
If the problem persists, it may be a permissions problem.
Take ownership of the related file
=============
1.      In the "Start" menu, locate "Command Prompt". Right-click and choose "Run as Administrator".
Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Note 2: In Windows XP, click Start >Run, type cmd and press Enter.
2.      Type the following commands, then press "Enter" to execute them one by one. Please note the space before the command and its parameter.
takeown /f <path>\<file name>
cacls <path>\<file name> /G administrators:F
3.      Restart the computer to check the issue.
More references:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421
If all user has full control rights , the .tmp file still in the folder ,please clean the virus .
You could try disabling this program to see if the problem goes away.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.

Cannot create a file when that file already exists, but should overwrite

Hi,
I need the same file name which is at Sender side and when it reaches to Receiver directory without timestamp.
for eg., Sender side : Yeswanth.txt
and also receiver side : Yeswanth.txt
but, here it should overwrite the existing file (because, the sender side file name is always constant) at receiver directory when the job schedules for each time.
Processing parameters i has given on Receiver side:
File Construction Mode : Create
put file : Use Temporary File
and I enabled the Adapter Specific Message Attributes at Sender side and Receiver side.
Error getting receiver side at communication channel :
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException:
Yeswanth.txt: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. : com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550
Yeswanth.txt: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
Reward points for useful answers.

Yeswanth.

Hi Yeswanth
Then you can try with a "Add Counter". This will create new file each time with the same name but a counter will be added to the file name at the end specifying the number of times it is created.
You can also the specify the format to create the counter once select this option u can correspondingly fill the Format and step fields.
Will this be fine.

FTPEx: 550 : Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

Hi experts,
I am working on idoc to file scenario and PI 7.1. The idoc is split into 3 files.
In sxmb_moni , the message is successful , but in rwb( Message montoring) i am geeting the fllowing Error message.
' Delivering the message to the application using connection File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '172.19.125.190:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 /Storedata/Outbound/0000001802: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. '. For details, contact your FTP server vendor..'
and this error message is not displayed for all the target files , some files are getting created succesfully.
After some times , the file in error status , gets created automatically.
What may be the reason.?
Thanks in advance .
Best Regards,
Anil

There seem to be already some files in your Target Directory with the same name as your new files (which the CC is trying to place) and the CC is not able to overwrite the existing files and hence the error...check this.
Check: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/44/69d7cfa4b633eae10000000a1553f6/content.htm
14. Select the File Construction Mode.
u25CB Create
The file is created. The document received last is saved in each case.
If you want the created file to be overwritten, select Overwrite Existing File. If you do not set the indicator, processing is stopped until the created file is processed.
You can only set the indicator if you select Use Temporary File under Put File below.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Cannot rename DC, "Cannot create a file when that file already exists."

Hi,
A long time ago we used a domain controller named jacob.mydomain.lan. It was removed, possibly in a 'dirty' way, and now we cannot re-use that name for another domain controller. In the meantime we have upgraded to Win 2012 domain controllers
now, and when I enter this to rename:
netdom computername ourdc.mydomain.lan /add:jacob.mydomain.lan
I get the error: "Unable to add jacob.mydomain.lan as an alternate name for the computer. The error is: Cannot create a file when that file already exists."
If I enter:
netdom computername ourdc.mydomain.lan /remove:jacob.mydomain.lan
I get: "The command completed successfully", but it still refuses to add jacob.mydomain.lan
After each attempt to add a forward zone dns record 'jacob.ourdomain.lan' has been created. I always erase this manually afterwards.
What is the problem? How can I search to find the offending 'file' named 'jacob'?
Thanks a lot for help on this.
regards Tor

Kevin,
I suggest you wait 30 days instead of 3 days before you enthusiastically close threads. Some people might think you are being a jerk if you don't.

Can't save 24 x 36 ai version 9 file when opened in CS6

Can’t save 24 x 36 ai version 9 file when opened in CS6, even when opened as an outline format. I was able to save the file when reduced to 8 x 11, once saved I resized it back to 24 x 36 but it still didn’t work. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Sorry to have taken up your time, I have figured it out. I have about 50 layers and one was bad, process of elimination, I deleted one by one till I found the layer that was causing it to fail. Files I had converted from .DWG to AI coused an error

Duplicate files when editing in Photoshop??

I was wondering if it was possible to avoid the duplicate files when I edit in Photoshop. For example: If I import three raw files into CS2 to blend, then save the blended file and import it back into Lightroom for further processing, I have to go and delete the other two duplicate PSD's ever time. This seems redundant..any suggestions or is this just how it goes? Thanks, Chip

That's how it goes.

Why duplicate files when importing

Why am I getting duplicate files when importing into iTunes? I am dragging and dropping them into iTunes. When I ask to find file in finder, I am sent to the iTunes music folder and there are 2 files for each song added. I don't have that kind of space!
I spent several hours trying to clean this up and deleted duplicates out of iTunes library, then out of the music folder. I tried to test which file of the song I was deleating (orig file, not file1) and now .... iTunes can't find about 3,500 tracks that will need to be reassociated. What is the easiest way to do that?
I'm not sure if this is another subject or not, but when I go to delete a track it does not show up in trash first. I only get one window asking me if I want to delete this - click yes and it's forever gone. Do not pass trash. YIKES. Is there a way to get it into trash -> then empty trash like everything else?
Thx.
iTunes 11.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.8

Maybe I may have figured out part of my question ... these albums have a .mu3 file. Would that be causing the duplicates?

The cluster service terminated, error 7024, cannot create a file when that file already exists

I have a test 2-node Failover cluster using Server 2012 R2
As of last night the cluster service on one of the 2 nodes is down with this error:
The Cluster Service service terminated with the following service-specific error:
Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
EventID 7024
The Cluster service waits 60 sec, tries to start, and the same error occurs again.
Any idea where to look to identify which file this error is referring to, or how to go about identifying root cause and getting a solution?
thank you.

Cannot create a file when that file already exists

When i try to use Photoshop filters: Adaptive Wide Angle, Shake Reduction and Liquify. An error pop up saying "Cannot create a file when that file already exists".
Just one detail: The liquify filter doen't pop up the error right away, the error occurs just after i press the "ok" button to accept the changes.
I have already tryed to Reset the preferences, tryed to reinstall the PS, Update the PS, download (and install) the latests drivers to my pc.
My Pc fit in all the requirements, have the openGL version: 3.0
I also have Photoshop CS5 installed, in which the liquify filter works perfectly.
Here i have two Print Screen, how it looks:
The first image is just right before a click the "Adaptive Wide Angle"
The second one is right after i clicked it
If you could help me, i already thank you for wasting you time reading this!

Resetting the Photoshop preferences does not reset the preferences for the plugins.
There should be a Plugins folder. If the folder cannot be created it would cause the error you are seeing.
Can you check the permissions on the ‘Adobe’ folder at: C:\Users\jworthin\AppData\Roaming\Adobe.
Can you manually create a Plugins folder in that location or do you get an error?

Any solutions for lost render/preview files when opening files?s

Have any solutions been found for the intermittent lost render/preview files when opening a large file? I have Premiere CS6. A large project file that I have been working on lately opened without a hitch with previews intact ...until I bought new faster hard drives and rebuilt the computer (built with the same drive letters). I just installed the latest updates. When I now open this file, a segment of the sequence always opens without previews, unrendered, no matter how many times I rendered the file previously. I don't use 3rd party plugins. I am using the warp stabilizer. I tried all the suggestions that I have found on the forums (using a blank sequence to close and open, unchecking “write XMD…” etc.) but none work. I checked the render/preview drive, and these files are on that drive but they will no longer link to the project. It now takes a good 15 minutes to re-render every time I open.

I may have found a solution. I took out the warp stabilizer, and then added it back in on the clips in question, and then re-analysed and re-rendered. So far, so good. It seems that bringing in the warp stabilizer effect in the file into the re-built computer needed re-analysing (as I do after this 2 day exercise.)

Passing a parameter to an Excel file when opening it

I would like to know if it is possible to pass a parameter to an Excel file when calling that file from within another Excel file using VBA. I am using the 2007 version. An example of what I would like to do is what we use to do with DOS programs and command
line parameters. I would like to have the Excel file I just opened do something depending on the parameter passed to it and then close.
Might be an easy question but I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Step.1 Create a macro-enabled workbook
Step.2 Open the workbook, and open the VBA, insert a moudle, copy and paste the following code sample in the module
Option Base 0
Option Explicit
Declare Function GetCommandLine Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetCommandLineW" () As Long
Declare Function lstrlenW Lib "kernel32" (ByVal lpString As Long) As Long
Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (MyDest As Any, MySource As Any, ByVal MySize As Long)
Function CmdToSTr(Cmd As Long) As String
Dim Buffer() As Byte
Dim StrLen As Long
If Cmd Then
StrLen = lstrlenW(Cmd) * 2
If StrLen Then
ReDim Buffer(0 To (StrLen - 1)) As Byte
CopyMemory Buffer(0), ByVal Cmd, StrLen
CmdToSTr = Buffer
End If
End If
End Function
Step.4 Copy and paste the following code sample into ThisWorkbook
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim CmdRaw As Long
Dim CmdLine As String
Dim myParam As String
CmdRaw = GetCommandLine
CmdLine = CmdToSTr(CmdRaw)
myParam = Right(CmdLine, 6)
MsgBox myParam
End Sub
Step.4 Sign your code or modify the macro security settings to allow the macro to run automatically
Step.5 Save and close the workbook
Step.6 Run command line with the parameter, for example:
Excel "Server\ShareFolder\TheWorkbook.xlsm" /e/myParam
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The code sample above will pass the last 6 characters (modify the code if you need more or less) to the workbook
The workbook will display a message box to display the parameter we passed from the command line, add the other function as you need
The code sample refers to the reply from Air_Cooled_Nut in
