[QUOTE="trickyt, post: 1065926, member: 161556"] [b]Autorecover error in Excel on a Mac[/b] A couple of times while using Excel and while doing nothing special, it has simply crashed with the same pop up message. "Microsoft Excel cannot save AutoRecover info to Macintosh HD:User:Tricky Documents:Microsoft User Data:Office 2008 AutoRecovery:." with two options: "Do not show this dialog again for this session of Excel." and "OK" As Nick noted clicking either does nothing and it is impossible to exit Excel or save the document you are working on. The only way to exit is to use the "Force Quit" function under the apple in the top left hand corner of the screen. You don't get any option to save your work, but in my case, on restarting Excel, everything came back the way I left it. I thought Mac's were supposed to be bug free? Maybe Apple didn't write the software for this. [/QUOTE]
