Steve,

The temp files are possibly stored (if Windows 2K and OL2K)
"C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\OLK2DB". The directory could be different, problem is the files
are not searchable with Explorer. I'm sure there is a registry hack
so the files show up, but I don't know it. The file might still be
there, I had some going back several years.

If it's not there, undelete utilities might help (though it's probably
way too late now. I'm sorry to hear about you losing a day's work.
Snide answers from "gurus" suck. When you save the doc, it should be
read only, so you know to save as.

Restorer 2000, purports to work with both FAT and NTFS (in the $50
version). Sounds good, used the trial, probably going to purchase
soon.
