Thanks for the quick response Gord, thought I would just check since i have
had several people complain in the last couple days. Seems the autorecovery
works quite well as a replacement to me, but some people don't like change
very much.

Oh well, thanks again!

Only the developers know for sure.

Word had the Autorecovery for a few versions prior to Excel getting it.

Perhaps the Excel developers were influenced by this.

In Office 2000 there was the autosave feature which worked great, now in
Office 2003 it was replaced by the autorecover feature. I have done searches
in google and in this office newsgroup and all say pretty much the same thing
really not answering why the autosave was taken away. And alot of references
point to Jan Karel Pieterse's addin called AutoSafe. Does anyone know the
actual reason why the autosave feature was replaced and taken away altogether
in Office 2003? Thank you!
