recover deleted file
Most of a file was accidentally deleted.
It was a very large file, so when the error was realized, it was cancelled. Shouldn't the portion that was deleted have gone to the recycle bin? Or by cancelling it in progress, did this stop this process? -- pk |

recover deleted file
You could have simply used Undo or closed the file without saving the changes
& all would (should) have been OK. If you have closed the file your chances of recovering anything deleted from it are pretty much non-existant. If the file is still open *and* you have AutoRecover turned on *and* you have not saved you may be able to recover from the autorecovery file, but that is 'iffy'. Content deleted from a file (of any type) is _not_ sent to the Recycle Bin. Files deleted using Windows Explorer, etc. are held in the RB until it is emptied. Under some circumstances even deleted files can be recovered, but individual pieces of content deleted from a file, no. I'm a little confused by when the error was realized, it was cancelled What does this mean & what "process" are you referring to?

recover deleted file
I am actually asking this question for another girl in our office.
1. I think she was in the file, made a change, and then went to close the file. Instead having it save all changes, she deleted it. 2. The other possibility is that she was in file, Open, and was deleting some old files, and accidentally selected that one. The file contained all her 2005 invoices. It was a file with a template, if that makes any difference. We are going to have our IT guy come in, in the next week or 2 to see if he can restore that one file from our tape backup. -- pk "CyberTaz" wrote: You could have simply used Undo or closed the file without saving the changes & all would (should) have been OK.

By the way, this is in Windows XP 2003 Commercial version.
None of us use Auto-save. -- pk "CyberTaz" wrote: You could have simply used Undo or closed the file without saving the changes & all would (should) have been OK.

recover deleted file
You may want to consider using Jan Karel Pieterse's addin called AutoSafe (note
spelling). It doesn't overwrite the existing workbook when it saves. It saves to a user selectable folder. And when it's done, it either deletes these backups (or puts them in the recycle bin). And the user can always restore the backups from the recycle bin. http://www.jkp-ads.com/Download.htm (look for AutoSafe.zip, not autosafeVBE.zip, for your purposes.) Jan Karel's version will know if there was a crash and prompt you to open the last version it saved. pkferret wrote: Most of a file was accidentally deleted.

recover deleted file
Hi
I found a good product that could recover lost file (including temporary files). I highly recommend it as I tried many products but this was the only one who could recover it. http://www.active-undelete.com Omdah "pkferret" wrote: Most of a file was accidentally deleted.
