I have widows 2000 and running office xp. I open up a excel spreadsheet and make some changes to a doc. I minimize the spreadsheet for later use. I launch internet and go on a customers website to update some of there information regarding there account. this happens to be an excel spreadsheet. I make the necessary changes to there account and select save as. The excel spreadsheet wants to overwrite the exisiting document I created the first time. If I am not careful it will overwrite it. I will lose any info=rmation I made to the first document. I have install all the latest patches and have done detect and repair to my office software. any suggestions.

After selecting Save As you need to use a new name for the Saved as spreadsheet. Hope this is what you are looking for, Bryan

The document I am opening up on the internet is already named "CC". I am just updated an existing document.

Then select 'Save' instead of Save As. When you select Save As it automaticaly inputs the filename of the file you have open assuming that it is a revised version of the one you opened and also assuming that the name would be similar such as CC saved as CCr or CC2. Do you actually have write access to the web based file you are updating? Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are doing and wanting to do??? Bryan

I have direct access to the customers web site. I update weekly sales according to our reports and there reports. Using save instead of save as doesn't help. The spreasheet on the web still put itself on top of my first esxcel spreadsheeet I created. Its kinda screwy unless you are here watching me do it. You'll get a beter understanding.

Hi, what's happenin if u 1st protect ur sheet from overwriting?
