Loss of data in text box
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:55:29 UTC
When typing data into a text box on an otherwise unchanged spreadsheet, 'Save' is not enabled. Closing the spreadsheet loses the text box update. Work around - select something else after changing the text box contents. This enables Save and also ensures that closing the spreadsheet offers an invitation to save changes.
Hi Chris, inserting a new textbox into a spreadsheet changes the dirty flag and enables the save button. Opening a spreadsheet containing a text box and entering these box will vitually change the application. So typing text will set the dirty (changed) flag for the textbox but not for the spreadsheet itself. Only closing the textbox will set the changed flag for the spreadsheet. This is common use, but we are considering a chnage. So closing this as worksforme. Frank
