Hi. I've got a situation in WD2000 where an autorecovery file is not being
created when I expect it to be created. I've checked "save autorecovery
info" and set it to save every one minute. In most cases, it seems to work:
every time I make a change to a document, the autorecover info is saved
during the next minute. However, when I create a document containing two
subdocuments, Word doesn't seem to create an autorecovery file even after I
make changes to the master document (without saving). The difference APPEARS
to be the inclusion of the subdocuments, but I can't be sure about that. One
interesting note is that, after I insert the subdocuments (using
..Subdocuments.AddFromRange) , I save the whole document, thus creating two
subdocuments on disk (call them sub1.doc and sub2.doc); I make the changes
to the master doc after doing this save. I'm wondering if autorecover
doesn't do its thing because sub1.doc and sub2.doc haven't changed (even
though the master doc has). Anybody have any ideas what's going on?
Another related question: sometimes the process above creates a tmp file
with a name like ~WRL3946.tmp. It contains the exact same number of bytes as
the original file. Another time, however, Word created files called
~$xxx.doc (where xxx is the file name minus its first two characters). What
are these files and do they have any relation to the autorecovery process?
Thanks....
