Help - Closed excel doc with out saving it
In general, you're out of luck. I don't know if Excel's auto save keeps
copies of unsaved workbooks, but even if it does, I've found it rather unreliable if I really want to restore a document. There's a free add-in you could try, by Jan Karel Pieterse of http://jkp-ads.com, called AutoSafe. It stores a copy of every open workbook (even the unsaved ones, I was happy to discover) in a directory on your hard drive at an interval you specify. When it stores a new version, the old is deleted to the recycle bin, so if you don't mind keeping the bin a little full, you can keep a sequential archive of files on hand. I keep it running all the time, and it's saved my butt a few times. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Sugan" wrote in message ...

Help - Closed excel doc with out saving it
If you created a new Workbook, from scratch and closed it without saving,
you're SOL. If you opened an existing workbook and made some changes and closed it without saving, then the original workbook still exists in the original location without any changes.

If you never saved the work, there's no place to restore it from.
