So start looking for that backup - Network backup perhaps, or old copy of
file somewhere. Then reconsider your naming convention.

Unless you have a backup, you cannot. Basic rule of using computers.

Dear all,

I have two excel files (data.xls) that the name is same and located in
two
different directories A and B. One day, I open data.xls in A directory
and
accidently save as the same name file in B directory. The file in B
directory
was replaced. How can I recovery the data of the file in B directory.
