Changing AutoSave location programmatically
We had a server crash. We replaced it with a new box. The old Autosave
location was: \\<server name\path. Excel now can not find that location. When I go to Tool - Options, and click on any of the tabs, I get the error message, "Cannot access directory "\\<server name\path". Is there a way I can turn off AutoSave or change the AutoSave path through VBA? |

Changing AutoSave location programmatically
A couple of clarifications:
I am using 2003, and am talking about the AutoRecovery feature (not AutoSave). I would gladly give up AutoRecovery to regain access to my Tools-Options dialogue box. :( "Marcotte A" wrote: We had a server crash. We replaced it with a new box.

Changing AutoSave location programmatically
Solution:
Private Sub AutoRecoverPath() Application.AutoRecover.Enabled = True Application.AutoRecover.Path = "C:\" End Sub Interestingly, setting the path to "Z:\Marcotte\AutoSave" gave me a Run Time Error 1004.
