EXCEL Autosave for 2000?

[MJB2123]

Ok here's the deal...

One of the secretaries came running to me in a panic wanting to know if EXCEL 2000 autosaves somewhere because she's been working on a spreadsheet all day and never saved it. Well someone else closed the spreadsheet without saving it and now its gone(She probably did this and didn't even realize it!!).

Now it's not backed up since our backups only occur at night. So does EXCEL autosave like WORD does?? Also if so, where can I recover her data? I'm about to tell her it's gone for good so she better start it over!

Thanks....

MJB2123, I think that it depends if Autosave was installed as an add-in. If it is, it should be on your Tools menu. If it's not (uh oh....), also note the following from Help - may want to install this on her/all machines.
==============
On the Tools menu, click AutoSave.
If the AutoSave command is not on the Tools menu, you must install the AutoSave add-in.

Select the Automatic save every check box.

In the Minutes box, enter how often you want Microsoft Excel to save workbooks.

Select any other options you want.

Minneapolis - Thanks. I didn't even realize that was option. I thought it was automatic. Well needless to say, it wasn't turned on and she has started over!

Oh well, I've said many times to save work often, but I guess some of the employees think it is too time consuming to do this!

Thanks anyways.. I'll definately install that add-on in the future.
