As far as I know, the answers are ...

Registry
No
Yes

This is a user setting under Tools Options Save.

I don't know how your Document Management system might turn it off for an
individual user except with code - but once it's off it will stay off - and
when turned on again should remain so until explicitly turned off. Are you
quite sure it's only off for documents from the DMS, and on for others?

I've got a couple of users who regularly crash word while copying and
pasting tables to and from documents. We rolled out a new document
management system recently and we've found that any document opened
from that system has the autorecover feature turned off. I've got
quite a bit of code to go through to find the culprit, but I was hoping
for some more general information about the autorecover option. I'm up
to speed on the purpose of autorecover (not a replacement for ctrl+s).
Here are my questions:

Where is the autorecover preference stored? normal.dot, template,
registry, settings file?
Can documents carry an autorecover setting with them?
Is it possible to toggle the autorecover setting in vba?

Thanks to anyone who can help.
