Does anyone know why - when you save your Excel workbook -it sometimes
says it has close, sorry for the inconvienience and
you lose hours of work and/or data entry? It really ****es me off
and has happened twice in the last 2 days !

The Save and recover option (if that's what it is) hasn't helped. I've
not managed to rescue anything. What does it intend at this point ?
Whatever you do isn't want you want and you lose the workbook a second
time!

Why can't it just bloody SAVE the file first, then crash? That way
you wouldn't lose anything.

My xls is rather large, 37 megs. Is that perhaps a factor? I don't
want to use auto save as that takes ages and is very intrusive.
