Autosave in Excel 2003
The previous version of Office all had autosave features
which allowed the user to set a time incrimate for Excel to automatically save their document. Excel 2003 has autorecovery, but that is very different it seems than autosave. If anyone has any information on implementing autosave in office 2003, I would appreciate it. |

Autosave in XL97/2000 was by means of an add-in and...IMHO was very poor.
Settings were not persistent and it frequently crashed while saving. XP an 2003 both have it built-in It can be set or disabled under ToolsOptions...Save -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England HIS "Calvnhob" wrote in message ...

Autosave.xla from Office 2000 or 97 will work with Excel 2002 or 2003. If you have a previous copy, move it to your Office\Library. To download the 97 version see here........ http://www.stat.jmu.edu/trep/Marchat/sp2001/Library.htm ==== As an alternative, you may want to consider using Jan Karel Pieterse's addin called AutoSafe (note spelling). It doesn't overwrite the existing workbook when it saves. It saves to a user selectable folder. And when it's done, it either deletes these backups (or puts them in the recycle bin). And the user can always restore the backups from the recycle bin. http://www.jkp-ads.com/Download.htm (look for AutoSafe.zip, not autosafeVBE.zip, for your purposes.)
