How can I selectively stop creation of Excel *.xlk files?
I have financial workbooks for each year; for only the 2 or 3 latest do I
want backup files. Unchecking "Save AutoRecover... " doesn't do the trick. I'm not referring to what's saved in "C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\", but to the *.xlk files in the working folder. Also, is AutoRecover responsible for the extremely annoying, sporadic disappearance of the Undo/Redo lists? Thanx for any help you can give |

How can I selectively stop creation of Excel *.xlk files?
Autorecovery saves a copy of the file and saving a file will kill the undo
stack. But autorecovery is more of a tool to help you in case excel/windows crashes. (I think losing the undo is worth the feature, though.) Creating the .xlk files is a workbook by workbook setting (different from MSWord). File|SaveAs|tools|general options|uncheck that always create backup box. and save the workbook with the same name.
