Same Recovered Excel Files Continue to appear in Recovery Pane
 

How can I stop the same two Recovered files from appearing in the recovery
pane. I have saved them over and over and yet the recovery pane continues to
appear with them.

Tools|Options|Save Tab
(xl2003 menu system)

Notice the location of the autorecover save location.

Close Excel
Go to that folder using windows explorer
delete all the *.xar files

I've never seen them not disappear, for what little that is worth.

What I would question is why are you getting the Recovery Pane coming up so
often.

The same two files pop up everytime someone goes into it. Anyway, it is the
oddest thing.

Thanks.

No .Xar files are in that location. Yet, it keeps coming up.

Thanks for your suggestion.

How about using Windows|search and look for *.xar files?

Or let excel recover the files and then type:
=cell("Filename",a1)
to see what's returned?

Already did a regular search.

Will try your other suggestion.

Thanks.

It is Excel 2007 by the way.
