autorecovery save is hanging up excel for minutes
When working on a small sheet (a couple thousand rows) every time the
autorecovery in Excel 2007 kicks in, it hangs up excel for up to a few mintues. The rest of my programs continue to work fine. Any ideas? I have tried closing all other programs and get the same effect. We are preparing to roll this out to a large law firm. they will not be happy about needing to wait every few minutes for autorecover, but they also need it kept turned on because they lose stuff and dont save all the time. I already know how to turn autorecover off but am trying to avoid that. |

Just a guess...
Where is the autorecovery folder? Is it on a local drive--or a network drive?

Do you realize that AutoRecovery just saves a temporary backup which is deleted if the workbook and Excel are closed normally? Only if Excel crashes does the autorecover present the user with a recovery option.

Does this happen just on your pc or does it happen on another pc when that
person uses the workbook? If it's just your pc, how about a silly guess? Clean up your windows temp folder. Close excel windows start button|Run %temp% is a quick way to get there. And here are a couple of sites that discuss slow performance. The first is by Charles Williams and the second by David McRitchie: http://www.decisionmodels.com http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/slowresp.htm (I don't recall that they address your specific problem, though--but it can't hurt (too much!) to review them.) If you find the solution, please post back so google will know. Victor wrote: no its a local path. but that was a good idea to check that. any others? "Dave Peterson" wrote: Just a guess...

Did you find a resolution to this problem. I am having the same trouble too and want to know what you did if you resolved it.
