That's great, no really. I'm lucky that ctrl-s is an ingrained habit. In my neck of the woods if a power pole gets knocked over gets knocked over, we can be out for forty-eight hours. It's a bit dissapointing not to be able to try it, but then nothing really works with win98 anymore. Is this a set of routines for the windows kernell or something Mike did? Congratulations.

You've been working furiously on a document, or documents, all morning. You have been so busy, you have forgotten the golden Ctrl + s rule to save your work. Suddenly the mains power goes. Your thunderous issue of expletives blister the paint on the walls. But thankfully Autosave was turned on by default, so when the power comes back on again, and you run DBT, you are told that there are one or more autosaved files. You ask DBT to open them, and hey presto, there is your work, and moreover, it is at the stage it was no more than five minutes before the power went off. See Global: Autosave Options for the settings, which are fairly self explanatory. However at this time, it doesn't work with Windows 98 or Windows ME, but the Beta log does say this will be fixed before release. George. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jack Maartman Sent: 19 May 2006 19:06 To: duxhelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxhelp] Re: Beta 8 Back on board finally. Haven't installed this. What's autosave, anyway. Aplauding duxbury in advance.

Where's the round of applause for Duxbury for including an Autosave? I'm sure they'll be happy to pull it, if none of you want it! (Smile) George
