I see.
There used to be an AutoSave addin (menu Tools Addins) which would add a
AutoSave sub-menu in the Tools menu. But i don't see this addin in
ToolsAddins anymore. I checked my MSOffice CD, nothing; then the Office
Update website Optional Addins... still nothing.

Just found the following...
From MS article id Article ID 288118
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;288118
Add-ins that are not included with Excel 2002 and Excel 2003.
"...no longer included with Microsoft Excel 2002. Additionally, they are not
available for download."
-- the AutoSave feature has been removed.

I haven't searched the web for a free Addin, but you should be able to find
a free one with this implementation.

Sébastien

Thanks for your response Sebastien,

The auto recover saves option in Save tab, if I am right, is useful only
after a power failure or if a similar problem occurs. I want to use a
background save to prevent other cases in normal circumstances, like when I
close, inadvertently, my workbook without saving.
