Remarks
If automatic recovery is enabled (the AutoRecoverInterval property is greater than 0), all documents that are open and have unsaved changes are copied into temporary files. If you do not want a document to be recovered, set its AutoRecover property to False. The AutoRecover property is not saved with a document and must be set each time the document opens.
When Visio launches after an abnormal termination and determines that automatic recovery was enabled, it attempts to open all files that were open at termination.
- If there is a recovery file that is more recent than the last saved copy of the file, it opens the recovered file and displays the name "<file name> (Recovered)" in the document title bar.
- If there is no recovery file, Visio opens the last saved copy of the document.
You must still save changes to recovered documents before Visio closes. If recovered documents are not saved, changes will be deleted as in any unsaved document.
