xlk file extension
I work with one particular file that, when I save, always creates a back-up
copy with an xlk extension. No other file I work with does this. Why does it happen, and how can I turn this off? I'm saving to a shared folder, and don't want the extra copy out there. |

xlk file extension
..xlk is the extension for a backup file.
With the problem workbook active, open the File, Save As dialog. Then open General Options from the Tools menu. Uncheck "Always create backup". I think this has to be done individually for each workbook in which it has been set. The above suggestion is from Jim Rech in this discussion: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/conversat...did=3188 1577 You can read the entire discussion there.

In xl2003 menus:
File|SaveAs|Tools|General Options Uncheck the "always create backup" checkbox. Jeff wrote: I work with one particular file that, when I save, always creates a back-up copy with an xlk extension.

Please don't come back to ask us how you get back to your original file when
you've accidentally saved a change over it, if you've disabled the option to keep a backup. -- David Biddulph "Jeff" wrote in message ... That did it, thanks JL.
