Default How do I shut off making a backup copy of a file when I save in E.

We have a shared worksheet that many people access and make changes to.
Every time someone saves the file, Excel creates a backup copy of the file in
the folder. How do I shut that feature off?

Choose FileSave As
At the top right of the Save dialog box, click the Tools button
Select General Options
Remove the check mark from 'Always create backup'
Click OK, click Save
Click Yes, to replace the existing file.
