Hi Alan

If you can get the data to the screen with this program, you could try
using the Alt+Prt Scr button to capture an image of the screen.
(The software people may have disabled this, but its worth a try).
You could then paste that picture into Excel, and at least you would be
able to see the data, although you would not be able to use it.
Of course, with the data visible, you could then re-create a copy of
your original sheet.

Hi Paul,

No we have not sent the spreadsheet to anyone. We are seniors as in
"retired". As I said in my previous, there is a software program that
we
downloaded that did retrieve the "deleted" spreadsheet! The program,
"XLS
Regenerator" does not permit you to do anything but look at the
document on
your monitor screen! In order to save the restored program and use it
once
again, we must download the complete program.

That costs $50.00 which we currently do not not have at our disposal
to
purchase. We were just wondering if there was another was to get
around this
problem...

Oh well, its not the end of the world! Many thanks to all who
responded for
all of your time and help!

Loretta and Alan
