I don't quite understand but
NEVER save a file directly to a floppy. Save FIRST and then COPY to the
floppy. Otherwise you risk corrupting the file completely.

Also, never work on a file on a floppy. Copy to the HDwork on it savecopy
back to the floppy.

When I save things in excel occasionally all the green squares fill in
during
the process. Usually though I am missing from 1 to 8. Sometimes the 2nd
or
3rd is missing. Sometimes the 5th is missing, sometimes the 2nd, 3rd, and
4th are missing. Once the only ones filled in were the first 2 and last 5
squares. Does this mean that not all the data is being saved ? I am
using
Excel 2003 and a Floppy. Thanks for any help you can give me. Wayne
