Excel's 2003 Auto Recover Feature

I changed the AutoRecover save location in Excel and I get the following
error message: Autosave could not save to <drive>/<folder>. Is there
anything I can do to fix this error?

Thanks,

Have you tried changing the directory to which AutoRecover saves?

Also: try saving a file in the directory you currently have AutoRecover save
to and see if you can do that. If you can't perhaps there is a problem with
the directory/folder/etc.

About all I can think of is that you do not have permission to save to that
folder.

See Start>Help and Support on permissions.

BTW........autorecover is not the same as autosave which earlier versions of
Excel featured.

AutoRecovery does not make incremental saves/overwites and is useful only if
Excel crashes.
