Excel 2002: Can I customise the file recovery?

[Mr. Low]

Hi,

Quite frequently while working on Excel worrksheet, I encounter problem and
Excel needs to be closed.

Thanks to the feature that enable automatic recovery of the half done files,
however I noticed that too many files are recovered back instead of only the
current files in the active window.

Some files even dated back up to 3 or 4 days. These files are saved earlier
on when the Excel works normally. I feel that the Excel need not recover
those files.

May I know if I could customized Excel for it to recover only the active
files affected during a crash?

Thanks

Low

Maybe...Kind of...

You can tell excel to ignore workbooks you want ignored.

Activate the workbook that should be ignored
tools|Options|save tab|check "disable autorecovery"

This is a workbook by workbook setting.
