Excel backups
 

I would like to know how to make a backup disk or CD for my spreadsheet. I
cannot use my computer as my spreadsheets are listed only in my Excel
program. I have even used to Search function and it does not locate my
spreadsheet for me. What am I doing wrong. Any help for me?

Thanks

Sounds to me like you need a tutorial like this one:

Open one of your workbooks in excel.

Type this in an empty cell:

=cell("Filename",a1)

And you'll see where the files are stored.

You can also find the location via:
file|properties|General tab

Dave: I tried the formula you suggested and the word VALUE showed up in the
cell. Would you have any idea what I did wrong.

I'd guess you made a typo.

Did you open an existing workbook?

Dave, I would have thought so too, but I have tried several times. Could it
be that I have Excel 3. It always comes out as #VALUE. Thanks for trying to
help me. Must be a hopeless case.

Excel 3????

From John Walkenbach's site:
http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/index.htm

That looks like it was released in 1990.

Is that what you meant?

If it is, then I don't have a guess. I don't think I've ever seen that version.

If you meant xl2003, then that formula should work.

And just to make sure, don't change that formula.
=cell("Filename",a1)

Just type it in (or copy|paste from this message) to see what happens.

Dave:
Thanks for sticking with me, To show you what a novice I am I was writing
the file name of what I was looking for, not "Filename"
It worked and you taught me something I did not know. Appreciate it.

Hi Alice,
Even if you are satisfied you can identify all of your Excel files, there
are still other files that you should backup.
