A question re corruption
JoAnn Paules [MVP] wrote:
I could try to give you the reason I've been told - but probably would end up phrasing it wrong. All I know is that it has to do with the temp files created - and that it only takes a few more moments to do it correctly. It has to do with the temporary files created during editing. SAVING to A should be OK, but trying to edit a file while it's on the A drive will quickly use up all the available space on A, and causes corruption in the process. So, Save to A is OK. Opening a file on A to edit it, is not OK because of all the temporary files that Word will create. It's the space available that becomes the problem; nothing else. HTH Pop wrote in message ... Quite a lot has been written about avoiding corruption of documents, and one piece of advice has been "do not save to A: from Word (though from Explorer is okay). I habitually save to a memory stick/flash drive in drive E and I would like to automate this with a VBA macro. Does anyone have any information on why saving to A: from Word causes corruption, and more importantly whether or not saving to E: poses the same danger? Alternatively (and OT) is it possible to write a VBA (or other) Macro to invoke this procedure from a hot key while in Windows Explorer (where I currently do this manually)? TIA |
