Excel 2007 Back-up copies
 

How do I stop Excel from creating a "back-up" copy everytime I "save" a
document? It only does this when I "Save" not when I "save as". My folders
are quickly filling up with back-ups. This just started happening after I
upgraded to Windows 7.

Does that happen for all workbooks or a specific one.

Open the workbookfrom Save AS dialogToolsGeneral Options check whether
'Always create backup' is enabled or not?

If this post helps click Yes

But if you disable the very useful automatic backup, please don't come back
to us later to ask how to rescue your old data when you've unintentionally
saved something over the top of it.
