Autosaved
Hi,
I've just started using Excel 2007, which is a new and interesting experience, and now I'm seeing a few AutoSaved files scattered among my other files. I've searched the Internet and Microsoft, and so far I've been unable to determine what's triggering this. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you, Dave |

Excel saves these files in an attempt to prevent you from hurting yourself
by not saving. If for some reason, power goes off for example, Excel will get the last autosave file to help you prevent losing whatever changes you made to your workbook. You should save your workbooks regularly; some people do it every 5-10 minutes. If you don't save regularly, autosave is there to help you. "Dave" wrote in message ps.com...

Hi Tyro,
Thanks for your reply. I knew about the XAR backup file that Excel generates, but couldn't figure out where the Autosaved file came from. I was under the impression that Excel generated it directly, but now I see it comes from the XAR file when in Recovery mode. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, appreciate it. regards, Dave |
