Thanks David and Kevin for all your help. I've unchecked autosave so I'm
hoping this works!

Up to and including Excel 2000, it had an Autosave add-in:

From Excel 2002 onwards it has Autorecovery:

Note that they do different things.

Hey Kevin,

I tried this as well but my office is 2000 and for some reason there is
not
a "save" tab in my options. Any other idea what to do????

Click TOOLS in the menu and select OPTIONS and click on the SAVE tab.
Set
the number of minutes to a larger time span. You can also turn it off
altogether but then you run the risk of losing infomation should the
system
crash.

Whenever I'm working in Excel it keeps almost saving my workbook every
minute. It's driving me nuts. It just stops and thinks and then it
will say
in the status bar..."Not Responding." Does anyone know what this is
and how
to make it stop. It is really slowing my down becuase I have to stop
and
wait for it and it takes a while.
