Default Forced reboots -- Making Excel save always before file close

Our IT department installs updates after hours. Many times, these updates
force a machine reboot. I have long jobs that I run overnight using VBA to
send ODBC update queries from Excel to our server. Forcing a reboot loses all
the audit trails I compile while sending the update queries.

Is there a way to force Excel to save a spreadsheet when it gets a forced
reboot message from the network?? Autosave doesn't work because it appears
the machine has to be idle for the autosave to work (plus I lose any data
that I uploaded between autosaves).
