Scott, since the first of the month or so, MyCostPro no longer can be set to Auto Update to One Drive. It keeps telling me the file already exists, to do a 'Save As" to overwrite the file. It doesn't work. All other files on my PC update to One Drive, just not MyCostPro.....any ideas?

Scott, just an update. I completely unlinked my PC from One Drive overnight. When relinked, all files OK EXCEPT for the MyCostPro. This is concerning, as I have no offsite file backup.

Suavepenguin,
The recent back end update timing would just be a coincidence, it didnt change anything that would affect the excel file.
Im not sure of the solution as this seems to be a widespread issue with one drive... here is a link to the Microsoft forum with some discussions and possible solutions on the topic:  https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/xlsm-files-not-auto-saving-to-onedrive/bbfdfd44-6866-4bbd-86f8-d2f2d764643c

Thanks Scott, I suspected as much, but just wanted to bounce it off you, since the timing was odd. I'll keep working on it.
