Don't hurt me, I know I'm on a WORD discussion forum and I'm about to ask a
question about excel.

I am looking to modify the method of saving versions of word documents to
apply to excel workbooks.

I am using gmayors method for my word docs (thanks, i love it)

http://www.gmayor.com/save_numbered_versions.htm. (the version that saves
the version info in a separate text file)

Can something similar be done for excel?

In my mind these methods are just bad solution to a problem that has been
solved very good with other tools.

If you really want to keep track of you versions use a version control
system like
subversion.
http://subversion.tigris.org/

It might perhaps be a little tricky to set up the server on a windows
computer. I have at least not tried that. But there are good clients for
windows. So if you just get it set up it will save you a lot of trouble.

Found what I think is a good link for doing this
http://svn1clicksetup.tigris.org/

Or if you are in a company. Ask them to set up something like this.

I made a quick test to setup a server on my windows computer.
With the one click program and also this page:

It was really no problems and you will have all your version problems solved
for any file anytime.
