How do I STOP excel from making a Backup"filename".XLK file
New member. Hi Group.
I have an opposite problem to most people with regard to backups. I constantly access hundreds of excel files and there is a "local" backup of every file next to the real one. The files have to be kept in their own seperate directory. One file per directory. Here's my problem. Server space. I just did a search for all ".XLK" files on the server and deleted them all. There were 845 files totaling .99 Gig. I have all autorecover options turned off under "OPTIONS" "SAVE". Can anyone help? |

In xl2003, you can use:
File|SaveAs|Tools|General Options and check/uncheck that "Always create backup" box. This is a workbook by workbook setting (nothing to do with autorecovery). STOL10 wrote: New member. Hi Group.
