Autorecovery is enabled/disabled on a workbook basis, not application.
For all new workbooks you could set up a Template with Autorecovery disabled through ToolsOptionsSave. Open a new workbook, make your settings then FileSave AsFile TypeMS Excel Template(*.xlt). Name it BOOK and let Excel add the .xlt extension. Store this in your XLSTART folder and it will be the Template for all FileNew Workbooks. Existing workbooks will have to be reset manually and re-saved.

Thanks Gord,
But we have already set the disable autorecovery properties on all workbooks & Book.xlt 's to true, but when XL crashes the default, on our build anyway, is that the checkbox "Recover my work and restart Microsoft Excel" is checked. An alternatively solution maybe - is it possible to prevent the "Microsoft Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close ..........." dialog from showing at all ? thanks stuart "Gord Dibben" wrote: Autorecovery is enabled/disabled on a workbook basis, not application.

Don't know.
Maybe a registry issue. I'll fool around with it and see if anything can be done. Will get back later. Tee-time in 40 minutes.
