Auto Recovery

[Guest]

Hello everybody

I have in excel option the autorecovery function on and is saving in the
following path : C:\Documents and Settings\mnikolaou\Application
Data\Microsoft\Excel

The problem is that i was working a file and make some chanes while my
computer crashes. When i made a restart it was imposible to find out the file
i was working. not even in a recovery format.
Is that option works properly or i have to make some other changes in the
options in order to have backup files while i am working?

Thanks in advance Manos

Auto Recovery is supposed to work automatically so that you do not have to
hunt for the backup file. When you restart Excel after a crash (an Excel
crash) you should be presented with a list of workbooks that can be
recovered. I haven't had a Windows crash since switching to Windows XP so I
haven't witnessed what happens when Windows crashes, but I've seen that this
does work when Excel crashes.
