Excel creating 'backup' version of my sheet...

[Patrick Goovaerts]

Hi,

a user noticed that one of his sheets is creating backup-copies by itself...

- He deletes the backup version
- opens the original sheet
- change something
- saves the original sheet
- closes the original sheet
tadaaaaa.... now a new file with 'name backup.xls' is created...

He told me that he noticed this behaviour when he was 'protecting' his sheet
by a password. Now we moved to Office2007 and he wants to get rid of this
behaviour.

Any suggestions?
(btw, no add-ins are installed!)

FOUND,

Seems there is an extra checkbox, hidden in the tools options in 'Save-as'
dialogbox...
