Is it possible to save versions of a workbook in order to be able you to go
back to a previous version of the spreadsheet? I know that you can save as
another filename. A delegate told me that there was a way to do this, I know
that it is possible in the word but never heard of it in Excel. Any help
would be appreciated

Thanks

I use File | Save as with a different filename - usually I add "_a",
"_b", "_c" etc to the end of the filename. This is for earlier
versions than XL2007 - perhaps that has some newer features to
automatically allow you to increment the filename saved.

If your file is on a network drive running under Windows XP, then if you
select the file and look under Properties, there should be a right-hand tab
labelled "Previous versions".

Many people are starting to use SharePoint as a substitute for file shares.
Within SharePoint you can save major and minor versions of Office files.
Perhaps that is what was described to you
