How I can config autosave so it will never ask again for do it.

RE: autosave

It depends.

Since this is the spreadsheet forum, I'm assuming you're tlaking about Excel.

Autosave is one of the (many) most annoying, yet helpful (?) features of the M$ line of software. In Office 2000, probably in response to so many peopley being ticked off about autosave being "on" by default, made it an "Add-In" in the latest version. Now, to turn Autosave on you have to install the Autosave Add-in (Tools > Add-Ins > check the one(s) you want). Once it's installed, you can turn it off. In your case, you may have an earlier version of Excel and that means you have to find the Autosave check box somewhere in the Tools > Options OR the Edit > Preferences menu/dialogue. It's there.

BTW: if you want those annoying "office assistants" to stop showing up, find the folder named "Actors" and rename it "DeadActors."

Thanks
PS give me a link where to get the ADD-INS please

RE: autosave

Add-ons come with the installation disk and ought to have been installed with your copy of Excel, though they're user-activated. (The "solver" and "look up table wizard" are add-ins you have to activate yourself, but they're installed with the main program, too.)

Hi Dave Viking:
I have the add-in that run the autosave tool , and it is usefull to me.
What I want to do is not to unclik, all the times I open the Excel, the  botton left box "ASK BEFORE SAVE" so it will run as a default , in such way all the times I open Excel it will autosave the file at the preseted time.
