automatic backups

[bmccormic]

Hi,
Any help would be appreciated.

When we open any excel spreadsheet, and it is in use for longer than 5 minutes, a new file is automatically created under a backup file name.

We have checked the AUTOSAVE feature and it has not been installed nor is there a AUTOSAVE add-in.

We have been hit with a overflow of backup files, which you have to manually delete. We don't know how or why this started. Nor how to turn it off.

Again, any help from the Experts, would be appreciated!

Tools>options>Save
don't suggest unless you have a macro to do it yourself. There are MANY
posts on "how do I recover a file I wrote over",etc
