bon bon, good luck with the Excel. Is there any chance you will get to go home tonight?
Hi Nilly!
I really should be asleep, and yet I am not.
Oh well.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Swouncing
t Waves at Perkins and Spidra
OK, I have to go to a lecture. I really hope that by the time I get back, Perkins (and/or Spidra and whoever else wants to) will be asleep and bon bon will be finishing her document for tomorrow and getting some rest, too.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It seems pointless to even try.

I hate nights like that. I hope you get to at least nap a little.
Were you able to recover any of the work?

I'm definitely tired but I have to excavate myself from all the paperwork I strewed on the bed. Happy lecture-listening, Nilly! Good luck on resurrecting the report, bon bon. Bon soir, tout!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
It's my office computer. It says Excel 2000 "9.06926926 SP-3"
Ok, in Excel 2000 I think it's more convoluted. If you select Tools -> Add-Ins, there should be an Autosave Add-In check box. Select that and add it in. Then, when you go to your Tools menu, there should be an Autosave option. Note, in Excel 2000, it doesn't create back-ups, it just saves your file regularly.
Not that this helps you much now, but hopefully it can stop it happening again at least.

Thanks for the tip, bt. I have it in now...I think. Needless to say, a hidden uninstalled autosave is entirely stupid. This doesn't reach the stupid of not prompting when you close a worksheet unintentionally, though.
At least I had the partner who heads the technology committee try to save my document at 2 this morning. Perhaps he'll be convinced to upgrade, although as far as he's concerned, every piece of software we use "sucks." Then why do you authorize it, jackhole.
Were you able to recover any of the work?
I guess ironically I closed it because I was in another sheet trying to figure out a trick to make the data entry faster. So at least I had learned that trick. But it'll take another couple hours to enter everything in again.

Yup. It seems Microsoft recognised this too, it's become easier in the later versions.

I am not getting a cold. Just because I've got that weird burning in my nose and I was around a sick toddler this weekend does not mean I am getting a cold. It does not.
msbelle reminded me I really need to trim the cats' claws. Soon. Sorry, sweetie.
