Hi Linda

Cannot help with what is causing the problem.

Can help with the Autosave though. You need to click ToolsAdd-Ins and
check the checkbox next to 'Autosave AddIn'. Now when you select Tools
again from the main menu you will see 'AutoSave', click this and then
you will be able to set up the autosave.

Thanks

Andy

For some unknown reason my bosses excel will close everything he is working
on. Until today it happened overnight, today he left his computer for maybe
1/2 an hour and came back to it and all of his spreadsheets were closed - of
course unsaved. And actually everything closes out, he generally has
numerous outlook windows open and those are all closed too. What is causing
this?? Why isn't there an auto-save option on excel like there is in Word?
or is there and I am just not finding it?
