Check the temp enviroment variable
At first, when I was using the MS Office 2007 with SA then it was working fine, but all of a sudden it started to pop-up the some message very frequently that states "Outlook could not create the work file, check the temp environment variable". Can anyone tell me how do I solve this issue? Thanks.
Re: Check the temp enviroment variable
Follow the below steps and see if that helps you out:
- First of all you have to right-click on My Computer and select Properties.
- After that try to select the Advanced tab.
- Now you have to select the Environment Variables button.
- After that can you check the location of TEMP and TMP (probably c:\temp, or c:\windows\temp, or something).
- Now you have to ensure that the setting exists, first of all, then check that there is such a location on your hard drive. After that you can try to clean out the files will clear up the issue.

It is so easy steps for fixing this issue. Just Open, Internet Explorer\Tool>Internet Options, in General>Settings. In section of Temporary Internet Files, Click on Setting. Click on "Move Folder" Change the location of temporary files as C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Temporary Internet Files, click Move Folder and change it to C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Temporary Internet Files. Then click OK and Apply
After these steps your PC may be restarted, if not please restart your computer. Open Microsoft Word the error will disappears.

I had given an an other account on my PC the Window 2007 shortcuts. Powerpoint, Excel worked fine. Word not. At opening I got message to check 'temp variables'. As I temporarly gave this account adminstrator rights Internet Explorer corrected its Temporary Internet Files by itself, and Word works fine again.
I am able to use 'save as' etc.

Hey Everyone
I hope this helps.
I am using 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate/Spk1 with Office 2007 and recently had the same issue after trying to open a document from our Wordpress Blog Site. This message only pops up when trying to open the doc from the blog in Internet Explorer. Word works fine locally.
I tried changing the variable location and looked at the other suggestions I saw online to no avail. Then it dawned on me that I recently discovered that 64 bit Windows 7 has two versions of Internet Explorer. Yes, a 64 bit version and a regular 32 bit version.
If you click the Start button and then Programs you will see these two versions. When I discovered this I removed my regular IE shortcut and started using the 64 bit version for quicker browsing.
In my case this is the root cause of the problem. If I open the document from the regular 32 bit version of IE it opens without any errors.
This is not really a fix but a workaround. If you are using the 64 bit version of IE try using the regular IE to see if your error goes away.
