How do I turn on Excel Autosave in Office XP?

There is no Autosave in XL2002 and 2003 as there was in earlier versions. Autorecovery from ToolsOptionsSave is it. This is not the same as Autosave which made true incremental saves at intervals. Autorecovery just saves a temporary file which it deletes if Excel closes normally without incident. BTW.....Dave Peterson reports that he tried an earlier version of Autosave.xla in XL2002 and it seemed to work fine. I have also tried the Autosave.XLA from XL97 and does the job. To download the 97 version go here..... http://www.stat.jmu.edu/trep/Marchat/sp2001/Library.htm In addition to the above......Jan Karel Pieterse has an addin called AutoSafe It doesn't overwrite the existing workbook when it saves. It saves to a user selectable folder. And when it's done, it either deletes these backups (or puts them in the recycle bin). And the user can always restore the backups from the recycle bin. http://www.jkp-ads.com/Download.htm (look for AutoSafe.zip) Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Sat, 22 Jan 2005 16:01:01 -0800, "Craig S" <Craig wrote: |
