Post subject: Turning always save backup file to off Archived from groups: microsoft>public>excel>setup (more info?)
I used to know how to set this off using the template function. It has not
happened in some time, but reappeared when my work PC got updated from Excel
97 to 2003.
Can anyone out there shed a little light?
Thanks.

This setting is for for that one workbook/template. It's not an application or
user setting.

Did you mean .XLK files?
..WBK are Word backup files
But I see by Ken's response he's happy.
