Unless you have a very old version of Windows/Office/Excel it should
automatically save your work in the event of system failure. It will give
you an option on restart for which file you want to save under the original
file name. I always check the data in both versions before I decide, just to
be sure.

Is there an event that fires in Excel when the shutdown.exe -f is used

I have an Excel application running and I would like the opportunity to save
the workbook before the system shuts down.
