I have a large workbook with many sheets and many procedures in it. It's supposed to auto save every few minutes, but every 10 minutes or so I get a yellow message along the top saying:

CAN'T SAVE There was a problem saving and AutoSave was disabled. Please Save As or close and reopen the file.

I don't want to close the file for fear of losing all my work in the modules, so I save it as something else and then rename that file back to my original name .

I should mention that the file is in a directory which is part of the OneDrive Documents directory and so gets uploaded to the cloud periodically. Any suggestions? Thank you
