There is an autosave option, but turning it off does no good either. We really do not know where the problem lies. Is it FoxPro, or is it Excel? We do not know.

>May be there is an option in Excel to AutoSave every N minutes. You may want to turn this off (research if it's possible through automation) while you're running your code.

>>The problem is that once it created a file named TampaFloridaReport.xls, it wouldn't stop creating it; in fact, it would create it before I even saved and named the file. I do not know where the problem lies. Our IT guy took a shot at it and he could not stop it; this makes my work laptop useless since the below program is interrupted by this event.
