Dear Bob,
Thanks for the posting.
This post seems like to be the same as "Offline files fail to synchronize"
you posted in this newsgroup. I have replied for you in the another thread.
As for the detail information, please refer to my reply of "Offline files
fail to synchronize".
I have tested this issue in my environment. It can successfully synchronize
between the file server and client, no matter what format the synchronized
file is. Moreover, the offline file synchronization has nothing to do with
the format of the files, because the process of offline file
synchronization is the process of file replication. It has no idea about
what format the synchronized file is.
However, offline file synchronization is a bit related to the file size.
Because if this file size is greater than the limitation you defined in
Disk Usage tab of the Offline Files in Control Panel or a Group Policy
setting, the synchronization may fail. So please check the size of this
..xlsx file.
I hope this helps.
Have a nice day!
Sincerely
Morgan Che

--->Hi,
--->
--->My Documents folder is a redirected folder and therefore by default, it
is
--->always available offline.
--->
--->Why is it that if I edit my Excel file is in 2003 (xls) format, it
almost
--->always goes offline and needs to be synchronized manually? (Note that
the
--->file really isn't synchronizing as I do not see it change on the server
--->until I do a manual sync).
--->
--->But if I use a 2007 (xlsx) format, (in the very same folder), it
--->synchronizes right away? I don't see this problem with Word (.doc) or
--->(.docx) files.
--->
--->I doubt this is an Excel 2007 problem and I suspect it is more to do
with
--->Vista offline folders. I've seen this problem on 3 of 3 Vista machines
I
--->tested. And one of those machines is Vista SP1 RC, so if this is a
Vista
--->bug, it isn't fixed in SP1. My XP machines only have Excel 2003, and
they
--->do not have this problem.
--->
--->I also notice that both Word and Excel will create a ~$filename.ext
each
--->time the file is opened. But if this is an (xls) file, it will not (on
--->Vista).
--->
--->And lastly, why is it that these temporary ~$filename.ext do not
disappear
--->when the application that created them (Word or Excel) is closed? I
know
--->that the file is gone, but I must do a Windows Explorer refresh to show
--->that. (again in Vista; not XP).
--->
--->I don't have this refresh problem with files that "I" create or delete,
but
--->when the application creates these temporary files, Windows Explorer
--->requires a manual refresh to make them go away.
