stop my speadsheet from creating an automatic backup copy

[lggallo]

I have a spreadsheet I work with on a daily basis. Every morning I access
it, there is a backup copy of this spreadsheet in my folder where I keep this
spreadsheet. I want this to stop. thanks! Linda G.

If the name of the workbook has a .xlk extension, then try this:

File|SaveAs|Click on Tools|General Options|Uncheck "always create backup"

(This is the path for xl2002+. For xl2k, I think it was just "options"--not
"general Options".

File>Save As>Tools>General Options.

Uncheck "always create a backup".

Save the file.
