Here is an EXCEL/NOVELL problem hopefully someone knows the answer to.

Whenever the current EXCEL spread sheet is saved a backup copy is made.  The
data files are on a Novell file server.  The problem is that the back-up file
is given a unique alphanumeric name like 36cf8e.  This means
that the backup files accumulate and fill up the disk.

Microsoft say's that EXCEL backup files are always called xxxxx.BAK and
wasn't much help.  Something appears to be turned on somewhere to cause
this backup file creation with the encryted name.

Does anyone know what is turned on and how to turn it off. Thanks.
