backup
Which version of Excel are you running?
"Backup" means different things in different versions. Since 2002 debuted there is no incremental backup. Just Autorecovery which creates a temp file while you're working with a workbook. If the workbook is closed, whether saved or not, the temp file is deleted. If Excel crashes while you're working on the workbook, the temp file is saved and presented the next time you open Excel. To turn off Autorecovery go to ToolsOptionsSave and disable autorecovery. Prior to 2002 Excel had an AUTOSAVE add-in which made incremental saves to the actual workbook. It overwrote the file as you worked on it. If you have AUTOSAVE enabled go to ToolsAdd-ins and uncheck it.

I don't have a "Save" options. I did go to Tools, then options, but no
"Save". I was looking here cuz I swore I've seen it there before. Is it an option you have to add in? Thanks for the quick reply!

You won't have the Save option with a version of Excel prior to 2002.
See my post. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 8 Aug 2006 11:17:02 -0700, gall wrote: I don't have a "Save" options. I did go to Tools, then options, but no "Save".

I'm using XL2002. That version has a SAVE tab at <tools<options.
If you're using a previous version, I don't recall where the setting is. (sorry) *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "gall" wrote: I don't have a "Save" options.
