Background Saving
Is there any way to specify that Excel 2000 save a background or temporary
file while you use a workbook so that if Excel closes abnormally, you can access what wasn't saved? Thanks! |

Background Saving
xl2k and below came with an autosave addin. Tools|Addins (and install it).
Depending on your installation, you may need the distribution CD. This autosave addin actually saves your file every x minutes (user selectable). But... Jan Karel Pieterse wrote an addin (works in any version) called AutoSafe (note spelling). It doesn't overwrite the existing workbook when it saves. It saves to a user selectable folder. And when it's done, it either deletes these backups (or puts them in the recycle bin). And the user can always restore the backups from the recycle bin. http://www.jkp-ads.com/Download.htm (look for AutoSafe.zip, not autosafeVBE.zip, for your purposes.)
