Greetings ProFoxers-
..........
My googling has shown that the 2010 XLSX format is some sort of compressed set of files so I can see where the Zip stuff might come into play, but then the file can't be opened regardless.... There has GOT to be some setting that has been toggled on these rogue machines but I'll be darned if I can find out what the heck it is.
Yes, an Office 2010 docx or slsx file is a zip library of about 14 XML files and subdirectories. You can in fact unzip it and look at the individual files in any editor.
I have no idea how Excel handles this, but they must unzip it into some temporary area on opening the 'file'. You might try checking the setting of %Temp% on the machines that get the problem. (WAG alert!) My thinking is one of those XML files already exists on the machine in question and it wants to save it before opening a new one.
