Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

File > Options > Edit Tab > Create BAK Files (backups)

However, if you turn this off you will disable the auto-backup funtionality of Powerproject...  BAK files are used to recover your work in the event of any issues.

Thanks,
