Hi Walter
made some entries to the Excel file in Dropbox with Excel on my Mac.
When I opened the file there was banner below the toolbar that said the Excel had recovered some changes and did I want to restore them. The file looked complete so I clicked no.
Having made the entries I saved the file. There was no obvious indication that anything had happened.
In the title bar there is a greyed out text saying "saved to my Mac".
I went into DropBox and looked at the version history and it seemed that the last edit time was tonight, at the time I made the changes. I opened the file in Excel for the web and the entries were there.
So I'm not sure whether this an intermittent error, whether I've changed something or am doing things differently or what!
Any other suggestions?
Cheers
Iain
