Excel Problem

[Kori Ellis]

Is it possible to recover a version of a document that I had an hour ago? I accidentally saved over something very important and it's going to cost me about five hours of work if I can't get it back.

Thanks.

Autorecover? But I have never had to use it. Here is a link to the Microsoft website.

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do but I can't find what I'm looking for.

Thanks.

If you start Excel without opening a .xls document, the program will sometimes have the last versions of your spreadsheets open available as temp files for you to restore.

Worth a shot. :)

That only happens (the latest versions being shown) if you shutdown Excel without saving due to some program errors.

Anyway, none of these solutions worked and I stayed up all night to re-do it. Thank goodness I have a good memory and remembered a lot of what I had input.

Yikes. Can't say I've never been there myself. Glad you got it all put back together. :)
