You should never open Word attachments directly from e-mail - however it
*may* be possible to recover your changes.

i need to locate a word file rec'd via an email attachment...
follow-up, under the temp folder, there are a umber of files... some many of
which have a .tmp ending. i've noticed that a few of these files were last modified yesterday at 07:52, which is about the time i began modifying and saving my lost file. When I attempt to move or open these .tmp files they won't open because it is being used. the other .tmp files can be moved and opened without a problem. I'm sure my file is sitting on this desktop somewhere. I just can't locate it. Is there a standard file location these things flock to???

It will not have the tmp extension but doc (or docx for 2007). I don't use
Outlook Express for e-mail and do not know if it clears its temporary folders, but if it doesn't then you *may* be able to locate it by re-opening the attachment and use save as(but don't actually save it). Where does it offer to save the file by default. If that is a temporary file location as indicated in the addresss block of the save as dialog, then that would be the location to search. There is no guarantee that you can recover a document. Incidentally had you been using Outlook 2007 for e-mail, it would not have let you save in the temp folder - one of the nice things about that application. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Please help me wrote: follow-up, under the temp folder, there are a umber of files... some many of which have a .tmp ending. i've noticed that a few of these files were last modified yesterday at 07:52, which is about the time i began modifying and saving my lost file.
