Default Excel 2003 data disappear

Joe

Windows Auto Update has nothing to do with Excel but could interfere with
running programs while updates are being downloaded and installed, if there are
any...........which is unlikely every day.

How do you set the Excel workbook to "update" every 2 minutes?

The windows auto update was set at daily 7:00am. During this time when I
highlight the entry from one spreadsheet and copy and paste to another
spreadsheet it will work but at some point the screen is back to the windows
desktop and the hightlighted data and the pasted data disappear. This does
not happen every morning but occassionally. Where did the data go to? I
can't find it anywhere. The spreadsheet is set to update every 2 minutes.
Hope someone can help.
