Saved files arent updated as attachments in Excel 2010

[wr426f]

This is my first post so bare with me. I just set up a new Dell notebook with windows 7 and Excel 2010. I brought numerous files forward from my Desktop which was windows XP and Excel 2007 I think. Not sure if this is even relevant. This has happened with several files both new and old. I open excel and work on an existing file. Very basic stuff no formulas. I finish and save the file. I open and email and then proceed to attach the file. the file shows up were it supposed to be and so i attache and send. Turns out the file that attached did not include the recent changes i just made but is still the previous version with out the last saved changes.
Gets more bazaar. I created a new file and saved. I open an email and hit attach. the file is not there. I open my documents and go to the location and there it is. Repeat. open email hit attach...no file. Go back to the location and its there. BTW I did try and hit refresh but did not matter.

Anyways this makes not sense to me. Thanks for your help.

Try doing a save as to a separate location, and change the file type to "excel workbook".

This should fix it for you, I am going to guess that all of your changes are automatically saving separately, to a default location, rather than over-writing your current document.
