Save - Auto Recovery

E

Evan

I noticed that when working on large excel files the program often gets
caught up and at the bottom left hand corner the program is performing a Save
Auto Recovery. What causes this and is there a way to minimize this?

Assuming version 2002 or 2003.

Tools>Options>Save

You can set the time interval to something greater or disable the AutoRecovery
feature completely.

Help gives a good account of AutoRecovery usage and settings.

The Autorecovery feature automatically saves your work in case of a crash.
There is no real overhead to it and it can only help if you do crash.
However if you'd rather lose all your work<g>, turn it off under Tools,
Option, Save.
