Look in [Start] [Programs] [Accessories] [System Tools] there is a Backup
function buried in there.

Since there was a time when backup wasn't such a friendly beast to play
with, I picked up on a program called SecondCopy from www.centered.com some
years ago and have found it easy to use and extremely reliable and versatile.

I was seriously hoping that I would get a different answer. Thank you very
much for your time. It unfortuanetly confirms what two hours of trying
everything I could possibly think of has also told me. Now I am wondering
why XP 2000 home edition doesn't come with a standard back up facility
installed. I just assumed.... But then we all know what assumed makes of u
and me (In this case just me!)

Again thank you for your time

This is one of those times that it is my sad duty to be the bearer of
probably even sadder tidings: Having saved over a file, that original file
is gone.

Hopefully you routinely make backups of critical files and can recover from
that backup copy?

I was working on a new document. I pushed Save As. Somehow I managed to
select my worksheet that I use as a database and saved over it. I then
closed Excel. I didn't realise what I had done until after I had closed the
document and tried to open my worksheet I use as a database. How do I
recover the old version of my worksheet? Please help!!!
