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 -- Allore |

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 Allore wrote: I would like to know how to make a backup disk or CD for my spreadsheet.

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. -- Allore "Allore" wrote: Dave, Thanks for the help. I will give it a try now. -- Allore "Dave Peterson" wrote: Open one of your workbooks in excel.

I'd guess you made a typo.
Did you open an existing workbook? Allore wrote: Dave: I tried the formula you suggested and the word VALUE showed up in the cell.

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. -- Allore "Dave Peterson" wrote: I'd guess you made a typo.

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. -- Allore "Dave Peterson" wrote: 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?

Excel backups
Hi Alice,
Even if you are satisfied you can identify all of your Excel files, there are still other files that you should backup. http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/backup.htm --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...
