Hi Dave
I agree with David that it would be better to ask APH if you can
save the finished recording as a complete file.
Are you sure you are connecting to the cord to the correct
input on the work computer? If you have a choice of line input
in Audacity Device Toolbar, this usually means that you have
a separate line input and mic input, unless you are certain that
choosing "line" changes the single input from a mic to a line
input.
Also have you checked in the Windows Control Panels if
you can enable "stereo mix" or "what U hear" - then you
can choose that input and you don't need the cord.
What version of Windows is it? If it's XP, try these
instructions for enabling hidden inputs:

If it is Windows Vista/Windows 7 or Windows 8:
