Whenever I'm working in Excel it keeps almost saving my workbook every
minute. It's driving me nuts. It just stops and thinks and then it will say
in the status bar..."Not Responding." Does anyone know what this is and how
to make it stop. It is really slowing my down becuase I have to stop and
wait for it and it takes a while.

Click TOOLS in the menu and select OPTIONS and click on the SAVE tab. Set
the number of minutes to a larger time span. You can also turn it off
altogether but then you run the risk of losing infomation should the system
crash.

Hey Kevin,

I tried this as well but my office is 2000 and for some reason there is not
a "save" tab in my options. Any other idea what to do????

I'm not sure, but some prior version of the Excel had AutoSave as an addin.
Click TOOLS in the menu and select ADD INS and see if there's a check next to
the add-in named AUTOSAVE.

Up to and including Excel 2000, it had an Autosave add-in:

From Excel 2002 onwards it has Autorecovery:

Note that they do different things.

Thanks David and Kevin for all your help. I've unchecked autosave so I'm
hoping this works!
