Feature to automatically save back up files to a different locatio
Hi Microsoft,
I would like to be able to automatically save shared excel files (read only back up) to a different location so that other users can read the file, without having to give them access to a certain network drive. I know it is possible to create an automatic back up (I already use this feature for recovery purposes), but I would like the file to save itself in a different location as well. This is not a new question, as you can see from the below (helpful) entries on answers.google.com. I would really appreciate an answer as to whether MS will provide a solution to this not so strange request. http://answers.google.com/answers/th...id/123071.html Thanks in advance ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Please set up your macro to do this for you. Microsoft is not likely to
consider this as a "value adding feature" as 1. there is not much call for it and 2. you can do it yourself. geezz wrote: Hi Microsoft, I would like to be able to automatically save shared excel files (read only back up) to a different location so that other users can read the file, without having to give them access to a certain network drive.

Feature to automatically save back up files to a different locatio
Microsoft won't do this, because it doesn't involve fancy visual effects.
However, my colleague Jan Karel Pieterse has a utility which is much better than Excel's built-in autosave. Look for the AutoSafe utility: http://jkp-ads.com In addition, you could use the Workbook.SaveCopyAs command to do something yourself. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ _______ "geezz" wrote in message ...
