Excel Autosave keeps switching itself off

In MS Word, I have Autosave set and it stays set. In Excel, it was extremely rare to lose anything so I never bothered until recently, when I lost some work. I did the standard things, Tools > Options > Save tab and it seemed OK.

Next time I checked, it was off again and I needed to reset. The same each day, or rather it keeps my setting for all documents for as long as Excel is running, but then loses it. I can's see a way to make it permanent.

This is Excel 2002 and I run it as an ordinary user on a big network with hundreds of other users. Is it something that can only be done for the whole network.

Are you referring to your Autorecover settings?

Cheers, Glenn.

OK, yes, it is Autorecover.
