How can I get "File Close" to prompt me to "Save Changes" ??
Hi all. In XL95, when I do File Close, it prompts me "Save changes in.....xls ??
In XL2000 it just vanishes without saving. Please how can I fix this. ? TIA Charles Jordan |

AFAIK there is no option to allow saving unsaved changes to be overridden in
the way you describe. My installation of 2000 exhibits the normal behaviour of prompting if I've made changes but not saved when I try to close the workbook. Perhaps you have the autosave feature turned on and unbeknown to you the workbook is actually being saved in the background? -- Regards, Bill Lunney www.billlunney.com "Charles Jordan" wrote in message om...

Agree with Bill, XL2000 and XL2002 still prompt you to save a changed workbook. -- HTH ------- Bob Phillips ... looking out across Poole Harbour to the Purbecks "Bill Lunney" wrote in message ...

Autosave is an addin in Excel 2000. Look in Tools=Addin. Do you have it
selected? Regards, Tom Ogilvy Charles Jordan wrote in message om... "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...

IIRC, it's under tools|Autosave. You could look under Tools|Addins to see if the addin were installed, too. Although, it could be installed without being turned on.

Tks Charles Tom - the behaviour I am seeking is not the automatic saving at say 30 minute intervals, which the Autosave add-in probably gives us, but the "want to save? " prompt upon file closure, which might be after say 10 minutes. |
