Hi!

I'm using Excel 10 (XP)......WinXP.......

If I have an existing file and open it, make some changes, then do a SAVE AS
and give it a different name, the newly "saved as" file is a completely
*NEW* file and the original is still in tact with the previous file name.

Try looking for the previous file name.

I overwrote an excel file by mistake, using the save as command to an
incorrect file. Is there any way to recover the previous file before I
"saved as" over it?
