User complaining Excel (2007)does not Autosave

Hi all
OS: Windows 7
Office 2007
The autosave functionality does not seem to be working when using an excel document.  I have gone into Excel Options-->Save
The 'Save AutoRecover information every' is checked and I have even set it to 1 but documents still do not seem to autosave.
A couple of questions:-
1. From my understanding, please correct me if im wrong.  Autosave is a feature to help prevent data loss.  In the sense that if a document has not been manually saved, the autosave function 'kicks in' (depending on whats specified) incase the
computer crashes/dies/excel dies etc and saves the information.
2.  If the above is correct.  I've also tried to see if the Autosave function indeed works.  Which according to my tests doesn't.  I've set the Autorecover information to to 1 minute.  Waited and waited, gone past a minute and then
to test it I've performed an End Process (excel.exe) and then fired up excel and when im prompted with the autosave document on the left handside , the changes that I created aren't there when i select that document.
What on earth am I doing wrong?
The only thing I haven't done is short of re-installing office or running a repair installation.
Any suggestions before I try the above.
Thanks
Asif

Hi,
As far as I know, most of the Office 2007 suits have the  AutoRecover option, did you try to use word to test?
The AutoRecover option (in these Microsoft Office programs: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Visio) and
AutoSave option (in Microsoft Office Outlook) can help you avoid losing work in two ways:
•Your data is automatically saved
•Your program state is automatically saved  
As you said, you shuted down the Excel 2007 after setting autosave. You could not open the
Document Recovery on the left handside when re-opened it.
Please refer to the picture and find the file path to open the recovery file by yourself.
If it works fine, I recommend you start Excel in safemode to test, the issue may be caused by the third party add-in.
For more detail information, please refer to the following link:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint-help/automatically-save-and-recover-office-files-HP010140729.aspx
Then, the virus also may be caused the issue.
Please let me know the result.
Thanks,

    Hi  VlH,
    According to your description, the issue can be caused by the Profile or Profile Values table.
    You can check the event log and ULS log to see detail error message.
    To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at      
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
    For your issue you can refer to the similar thread:

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Excel process does not end properly

    Hello All.
    I am using excel in my program writing data into it an excel workbook and then later on reading data from it. I have written down the code of closing excel worlkbook and shutting down excel application hence releasing the handles for it. But when i do that i.e. when the code containing excel workbook closing and excel application shutting down executes, excel workbook is closed but excel process does not end properly and can be seen in the task manager. And when i repeatedly open the excel file through my front end interface and close the file, another excel process is added in the task manager which does not end and so on. What can be the problem and solution. Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards.
    Moshi.

    Interfacing to Excel via ActiveX may be tricky, ending in situations like the one you are facing now.
    The basic principle is that every single handle opened to an Excel object (workbook, worksheet, range, variant and so on) must be closed properly for the entire process to terminate gracefully. If a reference remains unhandled at program end you will find an instance of Excel remaining in the task list and you may suffer erratic behaviour in subsequent accesses to the product.
    You must double check all references and add approporiate dispose/close commands for every one of them.

  • Parent directory ./Users/Shared/SC Info does not exist

    When I repair my Permissions, I always get this message: parent directory ./Users/Shared/SC Info does not exist
    I think it had something to do with Safe Eyes, which I uninstalled.

    Actually, I'm not sure, but I think that message may be normal if you have deleted the folder. The terms "SC Info" folder and "SC Info.sidb" both appear in the '/usr/bin/strings' output for 'DiskManagementTool', which is involved (somehow) with permissions verification and repair. I get the impression from the web that the items have something to do with iTunes DRM...

    Hey All,
    The following environment:

    - Oracle DB EE 10.2.0.1.0
    - OHS 10.1.2.0.0 (Standalone Companion CD)

    You should also double check that the tablespace named addeData actually exists in your database. If it does not, the FLOWS_FILES user will not be created, and that will result in a failed installation.

  • Excel 2007 will not print

    Hi - I have an HP Pavillion dv2000 running 32 bit Vista and an HP Photosmart C4280 Al-in-One. The two get along quite well except for Excel 2007.  The printer will print Word and .pdf documents but when I try to print Excel I get a message saying there are no printers installed.  This problem started about 6 months to a year ago.  Any ideas? Thanks.

    Hi - Since you can print from other apps, here are a couple of suggestions.
    - Try installing the printer driver that comes with Vista.  Go into Control Panel/Printers, choose Add Printer, HP and select your printer model (I believe Vista comes with a specific choice for your printer).  If you don't see your printer in there, you might re-install the printer driver that came with the printer.
    - For whatever reason, Excel is not reading the printers installed in Windows, so I'd recommend re-installing Excel.  Excel should be looking to Windows for a list of installed printers.
    Hope that helps.

  • Created a new user profile but it does not show on Login screen or fast sw

    I have created a new profile that I want to be an admin profile. The creation of the profile went ok. I can see and edit the profile. When I reboot or logout, the login menu only show the inital profile that I set up when I got the system. The new user id also does not show up when I go to my fast switch menu.
    My original user id is set to automatically logon when the system is started. I did try and set the new userid to be the one that started automatically on bootup and then both profiles appeared in the startup menu and fast switching menu.
    If I switch back to having my original user id be the id that automatically logs in on bootup then the new user id disappears again from the login and fast switch menus. I really don't want to startup on my admin id.
    Any ideas?

    No not yet. I am still researching the problem. I was hoping someone in the discussion forum could help. Let me know if you find a resolution.

  • Calendar Server 4: Adding a user to a node does not add ou attribute

    In Netscape Calendar Server (CS) 3.5, if I add a new user with an organizational
    unit (ou)
    attribute to a Calendar Server node, the server will create an
    ou so that the Calendar client
    will be able to use the ou
    parameter to search for this user.
    <P>
    However, in CS 4.0, if I add a new user to an ou
    and then add that user to a Calendar
    node, the server does not automatically create a separate ou
    attribute.
    <P>
    Will I need to manually add the separate ou
    attribute to the ldif
    <P>
    No. The CS 4.0 server, unlike the CS 3.5 server, supports mapping from
    Calendar Server attributes to LDAP attributes. You can find more information
    on this mapping property in the Administrator's Guide for Netscape Calendar
    Server 4.0 at the following URL:<BR>

    http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/calendar/ncs40/ag/appendie.htm#1025959.
    <BR>

    To enable this mapping, in the [LDAP]
    section of the

    add the following entry:<BR>

    Is there a way to enter multiple groups? Guess I'll have to learn how to do multi input in a real custom form.The "MultiSelect" HTML Component works for me and I cant think of any other suitable component. Multiselectable List maybe. Fill the allowedValues property with a hardcoded list (*BAD*) or directly from a search on LDAP (_GOOD_) using IDM getResourceObjects FormUtil. You should find plenty of examples how to use it in the forum.
    One issue I noticed, I've verified the user was added to the group using an external ldap tool (JXplorer), however now that group has disappeared from the LDAP resource browser list view.(I personally prefer the good old [lbe LDAP Browser\Editor|http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/] or ldapadmin)
    That shouldn't happen... Verify the group is still there, the objectclass isnt changed by IDM (really shouldnt happen...) and make double sure nobody else screwed around with it. Groups of objectclass groupOfNames and groupOfUniqueNames (and posixGroup but that's a different schema mapping) are supported by default afaik.
