XL97: Always Create Backup Fails on Internet FTP Location (157041)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q157041 SYMPTOMS
When you save a workbook to a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site while in
Microsoft Excel 97, the option to "Always create backup" does not work.
However, after you save the file a second time, a file by the following
name is created:
Backup of <File name>.xlk
where <File name> is the name of the file you are saving.
WORKAROUND
To create a backup to an FTP location, save the file to the FTP site and
then immediately click Save As on the File menu and save the file with a
different name. The first file you saved is the backup, and the second file
is the working copy.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
