Hi all.
I had an excel file which I use as a sort of template.
I inadvertantly changed the file and saved it under the original name...
Looking for help I got to an article called: How To Recover MS Excel File
If
Unwanted Changes Are Made (Article ID : 150368 -
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/150368
That article specifically says that the original version of the file is
deleted after the new version is saved which means that it is still on the
HD, albeit deleted. The article also says that it IS possible to recover
the
file, but it doesn't say how...
I can't find the file in the recovery bin. I stopped using the computer as
soon as I found out so as not to write anything on that file's space.
Please help.


There are dozens of free "file undelete" programs, such as Restoration and
Handy Recovery. Try a Google search.

It may be an Excel file you are trying to undelete, but it isn't Excel that
can do this for you.
