Excel VBA Code Cleaner Version 5.0 »

New version of Autosafe (and free too!)

Announcing: Release of Autosafe 3.5

After about three months of testing I’ve released version 3.5 of my Excel Autosafe utility.
This new version has support for very long path and filenames.

More important: I decided to make Autosafe freeware entirely, no networking limitations or licensing fees.
The only thing I did include is a polite invitation to make a donation, which will pop up after it helped you to recover files a couple of times.

Description of the tool:

Autosafe automatically backs up your work in Excel. When you restart Excel after a crash, you’re offered to restore backed up copies of your files. You can also restore previous backup copies from your recycle bin to revert back to an older version of your work.

Enjoy!

    Jan Karel -

    I’m sure it’s as indispensable as the previous version. I’ve just installed it, and I’ll let you know what I think.

    Hi Jan,

    I wish there would have been an option to save

    —’n’ number of copies before replacing the oldest backup copy. Like the copies are saved as Backup1, Backup2, Backup3 and so on, where n is the number of copies to be specified by the user. If user opt to save 3 backup copies, then the 4th backup copy would replace the oldest i.e., Backup1

    —the file on the occurence of a USER specified option too. Like whether the user wants to save a copy on
    >Every Closure of the workbook
    >Every saving of the workbook
    >Every opening of the workbook

    Regards

    Kanwaljit -

    Your first suggestion is somewhat redundant. You can find the previous N copies in the recycle bin. It’s one way I archive recent work and track my hours.

    The other suggestions are good ones. Jan Karel, if you’re listening, these would be useful additions to user options.

    Hi Kanwaljit,

    I like your second set of idea’s.

    So when I’ve finished my next 4 month project I might find some time to do that :-) .
